The outgoing prime minister Sanchez will try to form a new majority. The risk of new elections is high.
Predictions perfectly confirmed. In Spain nobody wins and finding a new majority to support the next government seems really difficult. The Socialist Party of the resigning Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez takes first place with the 28,7%. Very detached, in second place are the Popular, collapsed to 16,7%. Followed – and growing – are the centre-right liberals of the “Ciudadanos” party, al 15,9%, while the far-left populists united in “Podemos” lost some points, today at 14,3%.
But those who marked the turning point of this electoral round were the “Christian” sovereignists of “Vox”. The right-wing party, led by Santiago Abascal managed to go beyond the 10%, entering the national parliament for the first time. Incredible numbers, if we consider the traditional center-left culture prevailing in the Iberian peninsula.
Now, but, the knot will need to be untied for the new government. On paper, the only possible alliance remains that between Socialists, We can and indipendentisti. But Sanchez has already made it known that he will not make agreements with parties that want to break up the unity of Spain. We will then go on trial and error, but the risk of a new vote in the coming months remains on the horizon.
