The regional elections for the Parliament of Galicia Yesterday they made it clear what the new political division will look like in the half cycle. By 75 deputies with which the camera has, 40 will come from the PP, 25 from the BNG, 9 from the PSdG and 1 from Democracia Ourensana.

He PP reaches his fifth consecutive absolute majorityHe BNG marked a new record for Galician nationalism socialists suffered a serious loss of seats and DOING It premiered in Parliament. Sumar, Podemos and Vox remained outside the seat distribution.

Leave some behind the next day to ask We’ll have to see how they are resolved in the coming months, with two more election events looming.

Can the results of the elections in Galicia be extrapolated to the state?

He PP He has already spoken about ‘changing the cycle’. The Popular Party defends that it has won “all” election battles against the PSOE, and speaks of “11 out of 16 regional elections”. The Secretary General, Cuca Gamarra, defends that it is “a new election cycle in which it has become clear” that the Sánchez model “does not have the support of the Spanish people”.

The PP interprets that the Galician results represent a message from the citizens to the PSOE not to approve the result amnesty law and with a view to the next elections, other popular leaders, such as the President of Cantabria, María José Sáenz de Buruaga, argue that there is “a wind in their favor” heading into the Basque and European elections.

That is not the PSOE’s interpretationwhich, although it has once again acknowledged the poor results, which it attributes to the ‘lack of time to consolidate its candidate, denies that it is an ‘announcement of a cycle change’. Esther Peña has defended that “we have different results in the autonomous communities, but we are not lagging behind in any result,” he said, but the truth is that the Galician elections confirm the bad streak of the Socialists in the autonomous and municipal panorama. The past two years.

The PSOE is no longer the leading force in Castile and León in the 2022 regional elections; That same year he lost support in Andalusia’s regional elections, in which the PP won with an absolute majority; and the country was left without much of its territorial power in the May 2023 municipal elections, motivating the electoral advance of the general election.

Following recent times, only the President of Castile-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, has asked for in-depth reflection within the party, because “only by reflecting and correcting some aspects can prevent a cycle from becoming a electoral cyclone that will devastate the party even more,” he warned.

Can we talk about an announced disappearance of Podemos and Sumar?

Add He has unapologetically admitted his poor result in the Galician elections, but he has put it in the context of the community and assured that his brand remains “strong” despite receiving only 1.9% of the vote. They believe that the debate over the future amnesty law has not influenced the poor results, nor the break with Podemos. Sumar will work on the strength and roots of the organization avoid another debacle in Euskadi.

However, since user interface However, they believe that the break with Podemos ‘did not create a good image’.

Can has admitted the poor results and obtained only 0.26% of the votes. They believe that they have started from a “complicated” scenario, but that the defeat is “eloquent” and that now is the time to “reconstitute” the party both in Galicia and in the state as a whole. This was stated by the Secretary of the Organization of Podemos, Pablo Fernández, who stated that the first test for the reconstruction will be Euskadi, where they say that the situation is different because they have institutional presence, territorial roots and a ‘consolidated’ project . for years.

The political scientist and co-founder of Podemos, Juan Carlos Monedero, stated after the results of the elections in Galicia that the “battle” between Sumar and the purple party “leads both to irrelevance” and that “it would be better for him to to go home” for those who are moved by their “ego” and “anger.” This was conveyed via a message on the social network ‘X’

Does the Vox debacle mean that the far-right bubble is deflating?

“If you need to go back to the drawer, go back“, one of Vox’s top leaders has declared after seeing his expectations frustrated again in Galicia, where he still fails to enter the regional parliament, the only parliament that opposes him. They are once again around 2% of the votes, far from the 5% needed to gain access to the Galician Chamber.

At Vox, they attribute the election results to their failure to get their message across to voters, because they are.silenced by the media”his recurring apology for every setback, and to other parties’ calls for the ‘voice of fear’.

As they already did after the loss of 19 deputies in the 23J general elections, those of Santiago Abascal refuse to pass critical judgment, at least publicly, on what they may have done wrong. In light of the Basque and European elections, they have called to take advantage of PSOE-Sumar’s ‘weakness’ and called on the PP to stop ‘whitewashing’ Sánchez and nationalism.

For his part, the president of the Basque PP and candidate for lehendakari, Javier De Andrés, has published a video on social networks in which he says that the elections in Galicia have produced “some Vox votes that are worthless”.

Could BNG lead Xunta in the future?

The national spokesperson for the BNG, Ana Pontongathered the National Executive this Monday after election night to analyze the data collected in the elections, 25 deputies and 467,074 votes, approximately historical figures, but they strive for growth. The nationalist leader has committed to continue working to “broaden more” and reach more sectors of the population with the same goal with which they went to the polls and the assurance that the BNG has consolidated itself as an “alternative” force to the PP and will be the one to “break the hegemony” of the popular.

‘It is true that we have not managed to defeat the majority of the PP, but nothing will be the same again. Galicia has changed and there is a solid alternative for the future and an outpouring of hope and enthusiasm,” Pontón emphasized.

“I know that we have not achieved the goal and that many people are disappointed, and I want to tell them that it should not be that way, that we have reasons for hope. Deep change can take a long time, but it is clear that this country has already done so. changed and that these changes will come,” he assured, breaking a spear for hope and affirming that they will continue to fight for their ideals.

Do the results in Galicia strengthen the Basque sovereigntist parties?

EH Bildu presents itself to the European competitions with ERC and BNG. The general coordinator of the independence coalition, Arnaldo Otegi, has declared that the BNG is “the force of the future in Galicia” and will “have to be counted on for the territorial debate in the state” and has confirmed that EH Bildu maintains contacts with the BNG and ERC to repeat the coalition with which they participated in the European elections, in which new additions could take place.

For his part, the President of PNVAndoni Ortuzar has stated that he is “very happy” with the BNG’s “great” results in yesterday’s Galician elections. In a post on social networks, Ortuzar has acknowledged the PP’s victory, although he has said that both the PP and the PSOE lost an “atypical” campaign that the two “big” parties used by looking more at their fierce battle in state politics. “… then to the future of Galiza. Both have lost in that strategy: the PP, which loses two seats, and the PSOE, five.”

The president of the Basque PP, Javier de Andrés, also gave his opinion on what Ortuzar said. He has claimed not to understand the PNV and has asked its leaders what the Jeltzale formation is doing “to celebrate the success” of the BNG, “the partners of EH Bildu.” “Will they also be happy if the same thing happens in the Basque elections or in the European elections?” he wondered.
