May, a key month for political panorama

This issue's main fea­ture is ded­i­cated to fash­ion and the new sum­mer trends, which fea­ture an ex­plo­sion of colour, stripes and denim, in­spired by the '70s. We're also proud to cel­e­brate six months of Eng­lish Hour on El Punt Avui TV (pages 13-15). How­ever, May is also a month marked by a busy po­lit­i­cal cal­en­dar, es­pe­cially with local elec­tions across Spain. They will be de­ci­sive, mainly due to three fac­tors, star­ing with a new elec­toral cycle last­ing until next win­ter (be­tween No­vem­ber and Jan­u­ary), when Span­ish gen­eral elec­tions will take place that could bring his­toric changes to Spain's po­lit­i­cal land­scape. The sec­ond fac­tor is that the local elec­tions will give an in­di­ca­tion to what role new po­lit­i­cal forces on the scene, such as Podem and Ciu­tadans, will play in form­ing ma­jori­ties in many town and re­gional coun­cils around Spain. The third issue is how the local elec­tions will af­fect Cat­alo­nia's sov­er­eignty process, which will reach a de­fin­i­tive cli­max with the Sep­tem­ber 27 elec­tions (see pages 32-33).
