Spain held its third general election in four years on Sunday.<br />For more on this and other new around the world, let's turn to Hong Yoo.<br />So Yoo, we hear the results are starting to filter through...<br />Well, Connyoung, Sunday's election looks like a storming victory for the socialist PSOE party with 122 seats out of a total 350, with 90 percent of the votes counted.<br />The mainstream conservative People's Party had a terrible night with their seats dwindling from 137 to 65.<br />The center-right Ciudadanos party has 55 seats, left-wing Unidas Podemos 35 seats, and the new far-right party Vox won 23 seats.<br />This is the first time that socialists have had such success in a Spain election since 1982.<br />But the PSOE party will still need the left-wing Podemos and Catalan pro-independence parties' support to form a government as the two parties are short of the necessary 176 for a majority. <br />The PSOE's leader Pedro Sanchez called Spain's third election in four years after his government's fiscal plan was refused by Parliament.<br />The highly polarized campaign was dominated by issues including national identity, gender equality and the future of Catalonia. <br />
