As Spain gears up for its upcoming elections, the political landscape has become a battleground for parties with starkly different ideologies.

The Popular Party, representing Spain's traditional right-wing, also joins the electoral fray, setting the stage for a highly competitive contest.

While political debates focus on immigration, sovereignty, and the nation's future, one group stands deeply concerned about the implications of the election's outcome - the courier workers.
