That is, that happens on Saturday before the election.
As for the elections, the ballot paper format.
This would be a long and tedious account, however, within three hours of the election ended at eleven o’clock at night, the Interior Ministry and the Vice President of Government deliver final figures. This assessment is me important, since many of our countries are subjected to long counts that can-consuming dawns or days without knowing with certainty the final results.
Entering fully in the electoral dispute and its consequences, would rescue some elements, I think, they influenced the choice thirteenth since Spain returned to democracy, there by 1976.
Never before in the legislature led by Mariano Rajoy were so many allegations of corruption together. Mostly affected the Popular Party (PP) and their highest leaders. Symptomatic fact: 72 hours before the election erupted Eavesdropping scandal involving the interior minister. But nothing, did not dent.
The surprising performance of the Popular Party to get 137 seats have to go look for the fledgling economic recovery in Spain.
Grafiquémoslo clearly just met the unemployment figures. Are the lowest since 2009. Today, there are 3,750,000 people unemployed, a lot, but when Rajoy had assumed almost five million unemployed. I asked a taxi driver to take me to a working-class neighborhood on the outskirts of Madrid called Villaverde; there would close his campaign (PSOE) Socialist Party.
On the way, the driver described to me a series of calamities with which I find to reach the neighborhood. What I saw were middle-class residential areas of the lawn of his little untidy beds. When leaving the car, I asked the driver if he knew how were the workers’ quarters of our Latin America. Clearly, in Spain the welfare state was resented, but never broke. There is much to preserve and, of course, by trace.
As for the campaign itself, there was a clever strategy of polarization by the Popular Party. The premise was clear: “either we or the Venezuelan populist chaos embodied by its confluence with can and communist Izquierda Unida”. Fear worked.
The tool that best served this strategy were surveys, which gave all, without exception, a victory by the minimum PP, followed closely by We can and, in turn, these specifying the Sorpasso the PSOE and taking over the left bloc.
But luck, always necessary, he was on the side of Rajoy. Brexit appeared, which was a catalyst for the undecided to turn to the center-right. In the previous 48 hours, an atmosphere of unease gripped the middle class and this finished the job.
It will be for later analysis sedate and, with all the numbers on the table, you can know what happened in the block comprising the center-left (PSOE) and left represented by United we can.
that the PSOE has avoided the Sorpasso does not exempt the debate that will face if he wants to regain centrality in the game Iberian politician. Undoubtedly, the moment of glory of European social democracy was related to the Cold War and with their tacit pact with the powers to be displayed as the ideal vehicle to take the welfare state in Western democracies. Down the wall, another seems to be the agenda that will have to put in question the reformist left to become again attractive.
As for the new policy emerged in the Puerta del Sol, in the encampments of 15M, causes concurrent seem to explain the loss of one million one hundred thousand votes. Everything indicates that they were “victims” of refraining from their own fishing grounds, both the side of the United Left, who would not vote for opportunists who were once “Latin American populists” and other “social democrats”, as “podemistas” which communist passed.
A new cycle would begin Mariano Rajoy. Probably marked by the need for pacts and for a short term. Although you never know, because if anything is clear in politics is that two and two are not four.
