Mexico City, Mexico.- Although the recount of votes has not yet been completed, the victory of the Popular Party (PP) is already a certainty in Spain. Pilar Alegría, spokeswoman for the PSEO, assumed that the PP was consolidated by absorbing the vote of the Ciudadanos Party.
Up to the time of writing this note, the PP has won the municipal elections with the majority of the vote counted and with an advantage of almost 600,000 votes over the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE).
Madrid, without surprises, maintained its vote to the right and the popular José Luis Martínez Almeida won with an absolute majority in the City Council of the capital, with more than 80% of the vote closed.
While in the community, she maintained her position as president Isabel Natividad Díaz Ayuso.
One of the great surprises of this electoral journey It has been the result in Seville. The capital of Andalusia has historically voted for the Socialist Party but this time they gave their vote to the PP. Also in Valencia, the popular win with 13 councilors and would obtain an absolute majority with the four Vox councilors.
Despite the fact that it is after 12 o’clock in the morning in Spain, the supporters of the Popular Party begin to gather around the general headquarters of the Party on Calle Génova in Madrid, to celebrate the victory, once it is official.
With more than 60% scrutinized, up to four autonomous communities also give victory to the PP. It occurs in the Valencian Community, Aragon and the Balearic Islands, where the popular would obtain an absolute majority if they agree with Vox.
In Castilla-La Mancha, the PSEO also lost the presidency of the Community and this could be negotiated between Vox (which gained votes compared to previous elections) and PP.
In general, Spanish voters have decided to vote for the right and withdraw their confidence from the PSEO, who currently presides over the country with Pedro Sánchez.
Nor can it be ruled out from this panorama that the left-wing parties, Podemos and Ciudadanos, were the big losers in the elections.
