Spain will go to the polls on Sunday.
The Socialists under Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez are facing off against the centre-right People's Party, under Alberto Nunez Feijoo.
But, it's the influence of smaller parties that could prove decisive.
Either the far-left or the far-right are near certain to be part of a coalition government - the first in Spain's history.
So, will Pedro Sanchez be able to maintain power?
And how's this being watched in the rest of Europe?
Presenter: Sohail Rahman
Guests:
Jose Maria Beneyto - President at the Governance and Society Institute.
Emily Schultheis - Former Fellow at the Institute of Current World Affairs and specialises in the rise of populist far-right parties across Europe.
Pablo Calderon Martinez - Associate Professor in Politics and International Relations at Northeastern University.
