After nearly 40 years of bipartisan hegemony, the Popular Party (PP) of Rajoy and Socialist (PSOE) party, Pedro Sanchez, will be forced to compromise with other parties to govern in 12 of the 13 autonomous communities (regions) going to the polls and in the vast majority of municipal administrations.
After nearly 40 years of bipartisan hegemony, the Popular Party (PP) of Rajoy and the Socialist Party (PSOE), Peter Sanchez will be forced to compromise with other parties to govern in 12 of the 13 autonomous communities
The polls agree that the PP would lose its absolute majority in all communities except one, Castilla y Leon, while the PSOE maintain its unique stronghold, Asturias, and could regain power in two other communities if it deals with can or citizens.
The PP also runs the risk of losing key municipalities such as Madrid, his greatest bastion of power, or Valencia, while in Barcelona an initiative supported by we are in a position to dispute the government to nationalist Convergence and Union (CiU).
A Comú Barcelona win the bid led by activist Ada Colau- who today met with former President Pepe Mujica of Uruguay would be a springboard for we, who aspires to occupy the space “social” that historically belongs to the PSOE.
On the national map, for the Socialists vote of Catalan and Andalusian has been crucial in the face of general.
Unless all the polls are wrong, after Sunday’s election, although the PP wins in number of votes, will be a change in the form of government at local and regional level, and any post-election alliances mark the path of what can happen with the general elections at the end of the year.
Sunday’s elections will be the most pluralistic since the return of democracy and, therefore, the most unpredictable.
The Executive of Rajoy was used to manage the country thanks to its absolute majority and the fact that since May 2011, the PP holds greater power ever achieved by a party in Spain.
So, Spanish right swept the municipal and regional elections held in the midst of a strong social upheaval due to the rejection of the adjustment policies it had taken the prime minister, socialist Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.
It was on the eve of those elections that broke the movement of the indignant or 15M (May 15) spontaneously taking places across the country, with Madrid and Barcelona at the head, to claim a deep political and social change and an end to policies neoliberals.
In the polls, however, citizens punished the PSOE and the PP had wings.
A lot has changed since those elections. On the one hand, the citizen unrest and indignation increased the rate of repeated neoliberal adjustments and the outbreak of corruption scandals surrounding the PP Rajoy.
And, on the other, that anger and lust transformation are being channeled through two new political forces. the anti-neoliberal Podemos and centrist Citizens
Today, both the force led by political scientist Pablo Iglesias, which has its origin in the movement of the indignant as the party of the Catalan Albert Rivera, who recently made the leap from Catalonia to national politics, we are able to snatch niches of power and condition conservatives and socialists.
“We are going towards a more plural panorama “Today recognized the PSOE leader Sanchez, in a radio interview.
” We can and citizens can participate in the change but can not govern the change, “he said, however, the maximum Socialist leader, who He protested to both emerging forces that are using the power already achieved in Andalusia to the “old politics” block.
On 22 March, the Socialists won the elections in Andalusia, the poorest community and populated with Spain, but without an absolute majority, which prevented the inauguration of the winner, Susana Diaz, after three consecutive votes.
While we made it a condition that officials were removed and the regional government not work with banks evict residents who can not pay their mortgages and rents, Citizens demanded the signing of a corruption pact and commitment to a range of economic and social policies.
If the deadlock still could repeat elections, which would be a bad sign for the future political stability of Spain to seven months in general.
Although we and citizens are called to be by now matches hinges, Churches and Rivera insisted during the campaign that his vocation is to rule and that only they will “change” and “democratic fervor” of Spain.
Both aspire to occupy the space of the social majority that identified with social democracy and voted for the PSOE historically, although in the case of Rivera, with a liberal program.
Given this scenario that is adverse and aware of the difficulties it will have in the coming months to pursue their policies of government, Rajoy said the PP requires “all vows” to “move forward” and “continue the recovery.”
“Every vote you fail to PP, is a vote lost jobs, “Rajoy said last night before a packed auditorium in Valencia city icon corruption – where again boast Spain’s economic recovery although unemployment is around 24%.
