The Socialist Workers’ Party emerged victorious in Spain’s snap election on Sunday after running on a platform that included a Green New Deal to combat the climate crisis, a minimum wage increase, and higher taxes on the rich.

“Sánchez came out in support of the U.S. Green New Deal—sometimes translated as ‘El New Deal Verde’ or ‘El Green New Deal de España’—in January and has campaigned on it throughout the election.”

With more than 99 percent of the votes counted, the Socialist Party, or PSOE, won 123 of the 350 seats in Parliament. While not enough for an outright majority, the PSOE is now in a position to form a broad left-leaning coalition that would include the anti-austerity Podemos Party.

Speaking to supporters in Madrid following Sunday’s election—which also saw the far-right Vox Party enter Parliament—Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said the PSOE’s win sends “a message to the world that it’s possible to win against regression and authoritarianism.”

“With that the future has won and the past has lost,” said Sánchez at a victory rally.

As The Intercept‘s Kate Aronoff reported ahead of Sunday’s election, “Sánchez came out in support of the U.S. Green New Deal—sometimes translated as ‘El New Deal Verde’ or ‘El Green New Deal de España’—in January and has campaigned on it throughout the election.”

“As outlined in the party’s recently released 110-point manifesto,” Aronoff wrote, “the overall goal of Spain’s Green New Deal is an economy-wide mobilization involving participation from local communities, civil society, unions, and businesses, with an industrial policy that treats decarbonization as an engine of job creation.”
