The conservative People's Party (PP) was second and Vox third, mostly at the expense of the centre-right Ciudadanos, which slumped from 57 seats to just 10. Vox won 52 seats, up from the 24 seats with which it debuted in parliament in April. Vox leader Santiago Abascal said he would now work to build what he called "a patriotic alternative" for Spain. France's far-right party leader Marine Le Pen congratulated Vox on Twitter, praising what she called its "staggering progress." The Socialists won 120 seats, just down from the 123 they secured in the 350-seat house in April.
