Before yesterday’s elections, the PP hoped to win and take over Moncloa; the PSOE come back to continue in the government. The ‘popular’ win. And socialism goes back. Result: there may be a blockade as there is no clear majority and a repetition of the elections. Nothing new.
The PP wins, but… “Spain stops the Meloni wave”, was titled after yesterday’s general elections. It is not for less. The PP wins but less than expected and does not add up to Vox either; Sánchez and Sumar hold on but depend on who already said they didn’t see it…
The political blockade is thus, at this time, the most plausible scenario and, consequently, the government remains up in the air, the pattern that has been repeated in Spanish politics for almost a decade now. Feijóo says that he will try and take the initiative. We will see.
Those who know the most about Moncloa’s ‘kitchen’ conclude, however, that “the blockade returns”. “And Princess Leonor has to swear the Constitution in October,” they add. No matter how you look at it, the scenario is complex even for Sánchez, who lived through it before.
Catalonia becomes at the center of the equation to form a government after 23-J. The independence vote, although it adds fewer numbers, will be key to trying to form a government. Now it’s time to manage the expectations of each other. And they are difficult to fit together.
The second chamber, the Senate, the same one that has been wanted to be reformed for a long time so that it can act entirely as a chamber of territorial representation, was also up for grabs in the elections. Here there are no surprises: the popular ones get an absolute majority after sweeping the two Castillas.
Seen the numbers in detail, everything is complicated, it is admitted. The pactometer, therefore, these days will become a regular everywhere to try to imagine and / or carry out majorities in one sense or another. These are all its possible combinations.
Between communities the tension does not look downward. The new tax reduction in successions of several autonomies puts pressure on the rest. La Valenciana, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands and La Rioja have announced it. Will Catalonia and others remain tax islands? More doubts.
