What's the mood in Spain following the election?

Newcomers Podemos and Ciudadanos will play a crucial role in upcoming coalition talks as the ruling People’s party (PP) won the most seats in Sunday’s general election but fell short of a clear majority.

Having secured only 129 seats out of the 50-seat legislature, PP will have to reach out to other parties to be able to govern. An alternative would be a coalition government between the Socialists, Podemos and Ciudadanos.

We’d like to know what the current mood in Spain is like. How did you vote? Are you happy with the result? What do you think will be the result of the coalition talks? What are your hopes and concerns for the future? We’ll feature some of your stories on the site.
