Spaniards voted for change in municipal elections … – The Universe

The vote of the Spanish, who drove the new parties that promise to combat the economic crisis and corruption, now forcing politicians to knit coalitions to which they are unaccustomed, indicated on Monday analysts.

Six months after the legislative elections, the conservative Popular Party, Mariano Rajoy prime minister, suffered a setback Sunday in municipal and regional elections without its traditional adversary, the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) , harvest those votes.

Between them and just add 52% of the vote, compared to 65% four years ago. The emergence of two new formations questioned hegemony of bipartisanship that dates back to the arrival of the PSOE to power in 1982.

Born in 2014, we, anti-liberal ally of Syriza -the ruling party Greece- was imposed as a third force in ten of the 13 regions on Sunday renewed their parliaments, promising to fight against inequality and corruption.

His rival center-right Citizens claimed third place in the Municipal, which was presented for the first time in the country.

And in big cities like Madrid and Barcelona, ​​”citizens’” arising from social protest movement known as the ‘outraged’ are the doors of power.

A condition of getting coalitions.

In Barcelona, ​​Ada Colau, a militant against the estate foreclosures, had 11 of the 41 municipal councilors, ahead of outgoing mayor, Xavier Trias conservative independence. Enough to govern alone.

“Obviously to seek agreements will prioritize meet with the Socialist Party, (independence) and the Esquerra Republicana (ultra-left and independence) CUP” Colau said Monday. “That does not mean we can not make specific agreements on priority issues” with the parties of right and center-right, he said.

Now Madrid, platform Manuela Carmena, a former judge left 71 years , he fell to a single seat for the candidate of the Popular Party, which ruled the capital since 1991. On Monday assumed that get an alliance with the PSOE, which won nine escaños- that will give an absolute majority to govern.

“The public is prepared for this new political culture of negotiation, agreement and agreement. Those who are not prepared apparently are politicians, “said Jose Juan Toharia, director of Metroscopia.

In Spain, highlights the political scientist José Ignacio Torreblanca, the largest party believes it has the right to rule, even if does not have absolute majority.

And even emerging formations seem cost adopt the new system agreements.

So, officially, we can only aspire to victory in the legislative end year. “We take the challenge to win the elections for the Popular Party”, launched on Monday its leader, Pablo Iglesias.

Meanwhile Albert Rivera, president of Citizens, said Monday that “in Spain have finished the arrogant absolute majority “and stressed the need for agreements between parties. However, at the same time exclude his party to participate in governments that do not head up.

Andalucía, which held regional elections on 22 March is an interesting example. The Socialist candidate Susana Díaz won the election but without an absolute majority. Two months later, we are given that PP, we and citizens denied their support and even abstention, has not yet been named regional president.
