MADRID, Spain, Tues. 23, 2015.- The Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) in Andalusia, southern Spain, Monday start negotiations with other political forces to govern without having won an absolute majority election eve in that community.
The current president of the Junta de Andalucía and leader of the PSOE in Andalusia, Susana Díaz, celebrated the result gives the Socialists 47 of the 109 seats in the regional parliament, the same he had obtained in the previous elections in 2012.
The Popular Party (PP) won 33 deputies, compared to 50 of the 2012 elections; and in this election novelty gave it new formations we have 15 seats, and Citizens nine, while the United Left won seven seats, compared to 12, 2012.
The lack of an absolute majority, according parliamentary formula requires Susana Díaz to close some agreements with other parties to the endowment session can be chosen by the majority of the camera and govern with stability.
“I will govern alone, that was what I wanted for stability, “said Diaz Monday to radio Cadena Ser to rule out joining the government of another political party.
He clarified that despite having security rule in the next term, if the PP (33 members) and can (15 members) join in Parliament could block important measures proposed for Andalusia.
Díaz ruled that the election result on Sunday to be a platform to seek the Socialist candidate for the general elections in Spain in November.

WITHOUT THE MOST WINS ELECTION PSOE ANDALUCESE
The Socialists won the election without a majority in the region of Andalusia (south), which have mainly features the opening of two young political spectrum matches We can and Citizens.
With a simple majority socialists will have to seek support to govern, but partnerships will not be easy, because these elections Sunday, although regional, acquire special significance nationally.
The Andalusian elections have opened a year with several appointments with the polls, because in May there will be elections in thirteen regions and 8,000 municipalities throughout Spain and in late 2015 the legislative be held to renew the national parliament and form a government.
Today is the PP which dominates the central executive and the majority of local authorities, with the PSOE in opposition, but all polls predict a sharp rise can and Citizens to the point that the four parties would be separated by a few percentage points.
This would open a new and different stage in just over three and a half decades of the current democratic period, which have always been alternating Socialists and popular, because they would be required covenants to ensure good governance.
The case of Andalusia is different because it is the main center of power of the Socialists, although it is the most populated region of Spain, with 8.3 million inhabitants, always governed by the same formation.
However, the election eve trends do point to the emergence of Citizens can and two formations that are committed to democratic regeneration and have weakened the expectations of votes of the two major parties PP and PSOE.
Both major parties have been hurt in the polls for several cases of corruption and the economic crisis of recent years in Spain , which are the two issues that most concern to the Spanish citizens, according to opinion polls.
The covenants in the case of Andalusia will not be easy, since the different parties will be wary of reach agreements, since other rivals would be confronted with both the local elections in May and legislative, initially scheduled for November.
What is at stake in both events are a higher quota of power that is in Andalusia, so that different formations be cautious.
The eyes will be probably put in can and Citizens, especially because in his speeches have been devoted to punish the form of politics of the two major traditional parties and now have to justify any covenants with them
The Andalusian elections also have a special interest in the case of the two leading candidates. Susana Díaz socialist (current regional) president and Juan Manuel Moreno popular.
Diaz is seen by many sectors as a threat to the national leader of the PSOE, Pedro Sanchez, who heads the party for less than a year ago.
As for Moreno, was a personal commitment of the Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, and has had a significant decrease from the elections four years ago.
