Spain’s Socialist Party filed three separate no-confidence motions in regional governments ruled by right-wing coalitions on Wednesday, spurring a rift between traditional allies and promising a shake-up of local governance.
The first move came in the southern region of Murcia, ruled by a coalition consisting of the conservative Popular Party, center-right Citizens and the far-right party Vox.
On Wednesday morning, the Socialist Party and Citizens made the unexpected announcement that they filed a joint motion of no-confidence against the regional government.
