Posted Leave a commentPosted in Marijuana News

We’ve seen a few articles in the international press about the snap election that has been called in Spain.  The decision was taken by socialist president, Pedro Sánchez, after a drubbing in regional and municipal elections with voters signaling a fairly hefty swing to the right.
