Spain goes to the polls to decide its next government on Sunday, and a hard-right coalition is looking likely.
The most likely government to emerge - most analysts predict - will be a coalition including a hard-right nationalist party for the first time in Spain since the death of fascist dictator Francisco Franco in 1975.
But Spain was already divided. It has been since the civil war in the 1930s and the following four decades of dictatorship under General Franco. To this day, there's never been an open debate here about victims and aggressors. Old wounds still fester. The vice-president of Valencia is now a retired bullfighter from Vox, Vicente Barrera. He's also an apologist for the Franco regime.
All part of what many Spanish commentators describe as the current ''footballisation" of politics here.
