Candidate for Mayor of Madrid Jose Luis Martinez Almeida (C) and Popular Party leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo (L) shoot balls next to the candidate for the regional presidency of Madrid, Isabel Diaz Ayuso (R) during the closing rally of Partido Popular (PP)'s electoral campaign in Madrid on May 26, 2023 ahead of the May 28 regional and municipal election. The main opposition conservative Popular Party (PP) -- which has for months topped opinion polls -- has framed Sunday's regional and local elections as a referendum on Prime Minister Sanchez. The PP is confident it can win in six regions currently run by the left and boost its standing in Madrid, Spain's richest region. (Photo by Pierre-Philippe MARCOU / AFP)
