Spain: Socialist PM and poll favourite Sanchez casts ballot

Description

Spain's socialist PM Pedro Sanchez casts his vote in snap elections marked by a resurgence of the far-right after more than four decades on the outer margins of politics. Opinion polls give outgoing Sanchez a win but without the necessary majority to govern alone, meaning he will have to seek alliances in a political environment that has soured since Catalonia's failed secession bid.
