Madrid, Spain:
Polls opened in Spain today for the second elections since December aimed at unblocking six months of political paralysis, just days after a shock Brexit.
More than 36 million voters are called on to cast their ballot until 1800 GMT to say if they want radical change as promised by a far-left coalition led by Podemos, or stability and safety as pledged by the outgoing conservative Popular Party.
