The traditional two-party system of Spanish politics has been shaken up by the success of two new movements in the country's general elections. With nearly all votes counted, the governing Popular Party is forecast to lose its parliamentary majority while still winning most seats. The Socialist1 Party finished second, closely followed by the anti-autsterity party Podemos which won about 20 percent. It's pony-tailed leader Pedro Sanchez said it was the beginning of a new political era. Today is an historic day for Spain. We're very happy for the fact that in Spain, the tone, the two-party system is ended and we're happy because we are starting a new political era in our country. The results mean that Spain's political parties are set for days or even weeks of difficult negotiations2. The new groupings of Podemos and the Citizen's Party will play an important role in deciding the make-up of any government. The conservative Popular Party will still fall short of a majority in parliament even with the support of Citizen's Party which finished fourth. Tom Barrage3 reports from Madrid. The prime minister Mariano Rajoy just came out and said because his Popular Party got the most votes, they should form a government. But on paper at least, it's gonna be difficult for them to do that. And that leaves open the possibilities at least of a different type of coalition4 of left-wing parties, possibly with the support of pro-independence Catalan Parties. It would be messy. But it will include that anti-austerity movement Podemos. They have reason to this incredible position tonight, third in the election because of their anti-austerity ticket.

The people of Slovenia have rejected a legislation that would grant same sex couples the rights to marry and adopt children. In a referendum, more than 60% said no to a law that had been approved by parliament in March. A gay rights activist14 Raymond Cougar15 said the referendum was a positive development in itself despite the outcome. Regard today's result, we have won in a social sense even we didn't win a legal one. We have won in a sense that we are talking about these things. We live in a country which doesn't guarantee everyone equal rights. In that sense, we are exceptional in society. We will have to ask ourselves in what kind of society we want to live and what kind of society we will leave our children.

在此次西班牙大选中，因新进两党的优异表现，“两党制”历史或将就此终结。计票工作接近尾声，虽然执政党人民党获得多数选票，但并没有获得议会多数席位。第二名是工社党，紧随其后的是反紧缩政党“我们能”党，得票率为20%。工人党党魁帕德洛·桑切斯表示称，此次大选开启了西班牙新纪元。今天是具有历史意义的一天。西班牙“两党制”就此画上了句号，我们欣喜不已，开辟了西班牙政治的新纪元。在未来几天甚至是数周里，政党之间对话将会变得异常艰难。就组建新政府，新进政党“我们能”党和
公民党将发挥举足轻重的作用。尽管有第四名“公民党”的鼎力相助，但保守派“人民党”仍未赢得议会多数席位。请听汤姆·巴拉杰从马德里发回的报道。首相马里亚诺·拉霍伊称执政党“人民党”获得了多数选票，所以本该由“人民党”组建政府。但至少从媒体报道来看，单独组阁的难度很大。那么左翼党派联合组阁的可能性加大，而加泰罗尼“独立”派也很有可能提供支持。这将会是一场“混战”。而反紧缩政党“我们能”党一定会参与其中。因反紧缩政策，“我们能”党在此次大选中排名第三。

斯洛文尼亚对同性婚姻说不，并同样无权领养儿童。今年3月，斯洛文尼亚国会通过同性婚姻法，但在此次公投中，有超过60%的民众投了否决票。同性恋权益活动人士雷蒙德·库格认为不看公投结果，举行公投本身就是一大进步。就今天的结果看，虽然我们没能将同性婚姻合法化，但我们赢得了社会的支持。我们可以尽情畅谈。斯洛文尼亚尚未实现人人平等。我们是社会的“特殊”群体。我们希望建造什么样的社会，我们要给子孙们创造什么样的生活，这是我们要探寻的。
