Frente Amplio campaign spokesman Pablo Bustinduy declined on Monday to confirm whether there would be more moves like Teruel's: "The deadline closes tonight, and you will see."

Chunta Aragonesista (CHA) is calling on the Government of Aragón to provide stable institutional support and official recognition for Zaragoza’s Violería School, one of only two historical lutherie centers in Spain, specializing in the handcrafted construction of period musical instruments.

PSOE Aragón secretary general Pilar Alegría said it would not surprise her if Vox members joined PP lists in some constituencies, replicating the joint “Senado de Progreso” candidacy between the Socialist Party and Frente Amplio.

“We are going out to win, we are going all out.” This was the emphatic message from PSOE Aragón secretary-general Pilar Alegría. During the presentation of the party’s candidates for Congress and the Senate in Zaragoza, she said the November 29 general election pits two models of the country against each other: “Faced with artificial intelligence, cuts and insults from the right, there is natural intelligence, progress and arguments from the Socialist Party.”
