I just recently moved to Spain, and I can already see the effects of the recent elections in my city, they are planning on reversing a lot of progressive steps the previous government has taken. The big move to the right populist government makes me uneasy.
I am worried about the effects of the upcoming elections.

I moved just under 4 years ago, and I'm considering leaving. Thankfully I live in Barcelona which is much more liberal than Madrid and other cities. Unfortunately there aren't many other places to move to in Europe which are bucking the far right trend. Though given Madrid's history with fascism and how people are moving back towards it gives me pause.
