Spain turns to the left libertarian cry of “Yes, we can”, and wins in major Spanish cities and towns. It is a historical event bound to have major consequences for starters, mobilizing a huge amount of disenchanted citizens. The Popular Party is descended from 34 cities which controlled 19 and lost in municipalities that were a conservative stronghold.
The phenomenon occurred on Saturday by becoming the 8,122 municipalities that participated in the vote on May 24 last . In a slower process constituents procedures will occur in 13 regions that also covered in that time.
popular concentrations were followed on stage triumph of the various expressions of left but also in other places in Spain where they celebrated what the protesters considered a new phase of renewal of political life.
The PP, visibly shaken, he issued a statement accusing the PSOE of surrender control from the left to the “radicals”. The left wins in 16 provincial capitals. Four of the five largest cities in Spain become governed by that sector. Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Zaragoza, which were controlled by the PP for years
A very significant result, given the central importance Galicia has for the PP. Seven Galician cities left won 6. Calls Tides Atlantic, alternative groups of popular unity, have been the key driver of this change that modifies the political complexion.
The left won in Santiago Compostela, La Coruna Ferrol and Vigo will be governed by the Socialists. Like in other cities of great importance as Seville, Cadiz, Huelva, Pamplona, Cordoba, Valladolid, Zamora, Toledo, Badalona, Tarragona, Merida, Huesca or Palma de Mallorca.
The two most significant victories for Outraged libertarian-they were in Madrid and Barcelona, whose councils were surrounded by crowds that we repeated the slogans. Two women, Manuela Carmena in the Spanish capital and Ada Colau in Barcelona are the stars of this day filled with emotions and enthusiasm. Neither was part of the political class vilified, motejada “caste” by the rebels.
Both have a very warm direct style that excites his followers. Both promise to deal with all urgency, of the most needy children with malnutrition than those fed freely between 0 and 13 years. Will be reinforced with municipal resources assistance to the homeless, and health.
Manuela and Colau, great fighter against evictions prepared by the banks, and they began a few days ago to negotiate to give them time to find housing for those who may lose their homes.
The PP was sure that the main leader of the conservative clenched, Esperanza Aguirre, repeated their triumphs. But in the end he won Manuela, as affectionately called by his supporters, which was consecrated mayor with the support of the Socialists. A large Verbena People was organized in Madrid to celebrate the win.
Thousands of people gathered to turn around the Barcelona City Council to support the investiture of Colau in his speech he recalled his humble origins and he announced a policy change. The new mayor took power nationalist Convergence and Union ruled the capital for years.
The negotiations to meet the majority votes were complicated because Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya demanded a timetable that meets Colau independence, to which she refused. Republicans ultimately accepted and other nationalist and socialist groups joined. The flamboyant mayor announced that he would not honor rent red carpets but if would place screens to follow the ceremony. “So the citizens learn directly,” he said.
He also ordered changes in the protocol to increase the presence among the guests of representatives of social groups that until now have never stepped on an official ceremony. Moreover, the military and the Church were diminished their limelight. And for the first time, he invited a rabbi and a Muslim imam on par with Catholic Church authorities “to express respect for religious pluralism.”
