Where there is room for maneuver to raise the morale of the popular ranks, and to show muscle behind the scenes, in the region of Murcia and Aragon. In both communities, Fernando López Meras and Jorge Azcon – both candidates from the People’s Party and majority winners in the 28-m elections – have a month left to close a government agreement with other parliamentary forces before the deadline for calling a second election expires.
