The Fernández Díaz case was bad for the PP despite trying to spin it as a violation of the minister's privacy.

Looking at the polls and the timeline of scandals, it seems to me that no scandal is bad for the PP as long as conservative voters fear a victory for the Left.

Re: Spain votes again (none / 0)

There are two reasons why right-wing Ciudadanos voters might have gone back to the PP: rejection of the agreement with the PSOE, and fear of Brexit. They would have hidden this from the exit polls out of embarrassment for PP corruption.
