International Journal of Socialist Renewal — The economic, social and
territorial crisis in the Spanish state is morphing into a crisis of the
two-party system that has provided Popular Party (PP) or Spanish Socialist
Workers Party (PSOE) administrations for the last 30 years. Basque, Catalan
and Galician nationalist forces (left and right), and the United Left (IU) and
Union, Progress and Democracy (UPyD) parties are gaining support. However, only
a brave gambler would put serious money on the future evolution of this crisis.
While the two-party set-up has been severely weakened, a replacement party with
enough popular support to impose a different solution has yet to emerge.
