will be held in the capital, the Popular Party (PP) could tie can supported by the coalition. Polls predict the fall of the PP an absolute majority’re wasting seven communities- and can rise and citizens.

Barcelona

Last week of campaigning for elections that are advertised as a first step in a new political direction for Spain. Sunday’s municipal and regional governments are elected in thirteen regions of the country and all the polls point to a sharp decline in the two major parties, the Popular (PP) and the Socialist Party (PSOE), to the detriment of emerging formations We can and Citizens. Bipartisanship falters and the unknown which then focuses betting is how the agreements between the parties fraguarán to set the new map of power after the elections.

The polls published this week by the newspapers El Pais and El Mundo and Público.es agree a noticeable loss of voting for the party of Mariano Rajoy in major cities, which would force him to ally with other units to form a government. In Madrid, the survey Metroscopia for El País predicts a tie between the PP candidate, Esperanza Aguirre, and the party supported by Pablo Iglesias Now Madrid, Manuela Carmona. Conservatives obtained, according to the study, 29.7 percent of the ballots and the left coalition formed by can, win, Equo and former members of the United Left would get 27.8 percent. This amazing proximity between training that has few months and the Popular Party, which has spent 24 years in office Madrid shows, first, that the population is determined to support new ways of doing politics and, secondly, that the involvement popular in corruption scandals, finally, they is taking its toll.

Esperanza Aguirre, who was president of the Community of Madrid during the times when the plot Gürtel plundered their public funds relieve in office of mayor of the Spanish capital to the wife of José María Aznar, Ana Botella, but with only 19 councilors (compared to 31 having the PP now). The former judge Manuela Carmona, candidate Now Madrid, enter into the City, where now lacks of representation with 17 councilors and the Socialist Party would occupy the third position with 11 (he won 15 in the last election), followed closely by Citizens which, with 10 councilors, would also be part of the City for the first time in Madrid.

Given this fragmented electoral landscape, parties they will have no other to agree if they want to be in government. No absolute majority, as the next enjoying -and abusando- Rajoy group for ten years. After May 24, the decisions made in the capital depend on the consensus between two hypothetical blocks: forming, on the one hand, the PP and Citizens for which, secondly, could create the PSOE and the coalition can , if these alliances take shape. As these elections the run-general held in November, emerging parties do not want to burn their democratically-the main cartridge renovation joining those representing the outdated model. Therefore, it is not at all clear that despite their similarities in many aspects, the formation of Albert Rivera will agree after the elections with the PP, or that Madrid is now allied with the PSOE.

The Popular Party moves against time to prevent a loss of power already it seems inevitable -the public opinion research also predicts the end of its absolute majority in the regional governments of Valencia, Castilla La Mancha, Extremadura, Aragon and Madrid and continuous launches calls stability and economic recovery in the marathon rallies across the country. Sunday in the capital, the former president José María Aznar, addressed his antirruptura voters with a clear message: “What Spain needs is historical continuity and you need our party’s historical continuity.” Aznar also attacked that, right now, is their greatest threat: the formation of Pablo Iglesias, warning that arrive “clouds of populism of the left” and are nothing more than a symbol of decline, in your opinion, for the state. “They are living revolutionaries are not going to break the story of Spain kicking,” the former president was dispatched during the ceremony in Madrid, referring to the leaders of Podemos and, to top it joked about the allusions of Churches thinkers Communists Marx and Engels: “Touch your Marx and Engels, social democrats, as were his heirs Lenin and Stalin, who murdered millions of Social Democrats,” proclaimed one angry Aznar

In Barcelona, ​​popular. They are also alert for the latest polls published by El Pais, El Mundo and Público.es give as winner to the quartermaster at Ada Colau, antidesahucios popular activist and one of the most representative voices of the movement of the indignant. Barcelona Commune, as is called the leftist coalition led, come first in the Municipality with 12 councilors and would supplant the conservative nationalist Convergence and Union Party (CiU), which would remain with 10.

The Catalan capital seems to be one of the central scenes of the revolution predicted for Sunday’s election and, in large part, this is because the left decided to mobilize and to vote. Polls predict a 65 percent stake-twelve points higher than in 2011 and confirmed these figures, led by Ada Colau platform would be one of the most benefit. Citizens also would take advantage of this new electorate and, according to the study Metroscopia for El Pais, burst into the “City Hall” with six councilors and be configured as the third force in Barcelona. The collapse of the Catalan PP and PSOE, which would get two three councilors respectively is another factor that helped to rise to the formation of Albert Rivera right center, which brought together many of its voters disenchanted.

If Comú Barcelona wins the election, the impact will be felt strong throughout the country because not only represent the coming to power of a new policy focused on social rights and civic participation, but it would mean a blow to the party sovereigntist Artur Mas, who lost the stronghold of his crusade for independence. “They’re very nervous because an activist of the PAH (Platform Affected by Mortgage) has called criminal bankers in Congress could be mayor of Barcelona,” declared Pablo Iglesias while accompanying Colau at a rally held in a working class neighborhood of the Catalan capital.
