READ MORE: Spain looked set Monday to face months more political uncertainty after the country's fourth elections in as many years further complicated an already messy political situation, giving no party a clear mandate to govern while the far right became a major parliamentary player for the first time in decades.

One of the election's bombshell came with right-wing voters flocked to the far-right Vox party, giving it 52 seats to become the parliament's third force, behind the Socialists and the conservative Popular Party, which won 88 seats.

Vox's surge, and the gains by the Popular Party, capitalized on Spanish nationalist sentiment stirred up by the Socialists' handling of the secessionist conflict in the northeastern region of Catalonia, the country's worst political conflict in decades.

The Catalan issue promises to continue festering with three Catalan separatist parties winning a combined 23 seats Sunday.
