(Sorry for the delay in this, I was fairly certain I had already posted this blog...Silly internet connection!)
The elections here were on Sunday, and the PSOE, who are currently in control, have kept power in Spain. Even though there are several different parties, somewhat similiar to the US political system, there are only two here that really ever have a chance, the PSOE, which I take as a socialist party, and the Partido Popular, who I take as a conservative party. The election seemed to be so close that I'm fairly certain a lot of people will be unhappy about the results, which is also quite familiar.
I found this CNN article on Monday, and it´s a pretty good one, though it is somewhat short, about the state of things here politically.

This second article is a bit of political history, talking about the commemoration of the 3/11 (2004) metro attacks in Madrid.
