The PP had high hopes that the recount of the foreign vote, the so-called CERA vote (electoral census of residents abroad), would give him some more deputy to the detriment of the PSOE, and on Friday he managed to sign up a deputy for Madrid who kidnapped him precisely the socialists. With this, the PP not only maintained itself as the force with the most votes but also managed, or at least that was how it was analyzed, to place the bloc of the right ahead of the bloc of the left in terms of possible support in Congress.

This account was based on the idea that the Canary Islands Coalition, even having expressed its reluctance in relation to Vox, would ultimately support the PP, a party that in the Canary Islands gives it its support to govern the islands, despite the fact that the PSOE won the elections. in the community on May 28.

However, this Monday the elected CC deputy for Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Cristina Valido, surprised by placing herself in the “centrality” and open to investing both Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo if neither Sumar nor Vox are not part of the new government , so she is willing to talk to both candidates. She even indicated, in an interview with Ser, that her training “keeps a much greater distance from the extreme right” than from Sumar.

Thus, with an equidistant position of the Canary Coalition regarding an eventual investiture, the two blocks, the one on the left and the one on the right, are in an absolute tie at 171 deputies. The PP can count on its 137 deputies, 33 from Vox and 1 from UPN, while the PSOE could obtain, in addition to its 121 and 31 from Sumar, 7 from Esquerra, 6 from EH Bildu, 5 from the PNV and that of the BNG.

In this way, in the absence of an eventual negotiation between Junts and the PSOE, since both Carles Puigdemont’s party and the popular ones have excluded each other from the possible equations, CC has a key to decide the balance of which block has more support, a small key to the extent that, having ruled out a negotiation between the PP and the PSOE by Sánchez himself, Feijóo finds himself unable to reach support to achieve an investiture.

However, the CC’s position could affect and lead to the decision of King Felipe, who, after the constitution of the Cortes on August 17 and the subsequent round of consultations with the parliamentary groups, must commission a candidate to undergo a investment. Feijóo is undoubtedly the candidate with the most electoral support but without the ability to obtain the support to be sworn in, while Sánchez could achieve it if Junts’s support is signed up.
