That PSOE, which translates to Spanish Socialist Workers Party. They have been pretty much the dominant party in Spain since the beginning of the democracy in Spain after Franco's death in 1976. The king of Spain, Juan Carlos, shocked all the fascists after Franco's death by calling for national plebiscite on democracy. Democracy won, of course, and Spain has been ruled much more often by the Socialists than by the conservative (fascist) Partido Popular, ever since. Wouldn't that be wonderful to live in such a place? Universal free health care, free university education, generous unemployment benefits. It's a place that values people over profits. They got they way because they saw close up the problems of fascism. I love Spain and the people who live there! And what a vibrant Arts scene, too!
