Sevilla, Spain EFE, AP Two match-ups that have altered the political landscape in Spain, made significant progress on Sunday in parliamentary elections in Andalusia, considered the thermometer of looming nationwide this 2015.
The leftist party can, linked to Greek party Syriza who oppose the austerity measures imposed by the European Union, took third place, winning 15 seats in the Parliament of 109 seats in Andalucía, as polls had predicted.
“The political map in Andalusia and Spain has changed,” said Teresa Rodriguez, candidate can.
Another new party, Citizens, an organization center, placed fourth with nine seats. Citizens tries to prove he can succeed outside their base in Catalonia to become a national power.
“I am convinced that there are people that after what has happened today not want to see that Spain is changing, “said Albert Rivera, leader of Citizens. “There will be people who will want to keep watching and reading in the news that has not lost, they have won, but we all know that bipartisanship is dead.”
With 96% of the votes computed, the big loser of the day was the Popular Party president Mariano Rajoy, who spent 50 seats they won in 2012-33 on Sunday.
Socialists (PSOE) won without Most (achieved with 55 seats) to get 47 seats, so you will have to seek support to govern.
However, alliances will not be easy, because these elections yesterday, although regional, take on special meaning at national level.
First of the year. The Andalusian elections have opened a year with several appointments with the polls. In May there will be elections in thirteen regions and 8,000 municipalities throughout and at the end of 2015 Spain legislative be held to renew the national parliament and form a government.
For now, the PP 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 socialist and popular, because it would be necessary agreements 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 for the same training.
However, today’s election does suggest the trend to the emergence of Citizens can and two formations that are committed to democratic regeneration and have weakened 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 economic crisis these years in Spain , which are the two issues that most concern citizens, according to opinion polls.
The covenants in the case of Andalusia will not be easy, since the different parties will be cautious time to reach agreements, since other rivals would be confronted with both the local elections in May and legislative, initially scheduled for November.
What is involved in both events are shares of power far greater than in Andalusia, so that different formations be cautious.
The eyes will be probably put in can and Citizens, especially since in his speeches were devoted to punish the way politics of the two major traditional parties and now have to justify any covenants with them.
Unemployment burdening Andalucía, 34 , 2%, the highest in Spain, has undermined the flow of the two traditional parties.
