The results produced a landslide victory for the right-of-centre political forces, erasing all the gains made by the ruling Socialist Party in 2015 and 2019. The right recovered power of several regions and even broke through progressive strongholds as Extremadura, with the PSOE only holding power in Castilla–La Mancha, Asturias and Navarre. This outcome prompted Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to call a snap general election.
