Spanish conservatives win in regional elections, prompting snap general election

The governing Socialists suffered losses in elections for regional and local representatives.
The conservative Popular Party made significant gains and will control several regional governments.
The far-right Vox party more than doubled its councilors and will support PP coalitions in some regions.
In response, Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called a snap general election for July.
The election is seen as a gamble for Sanchez but also a chance for his party to rally support against the prospect of a PP-Vox coalition.
