The Popular Party would sweep the elections to the European Parliament that will be held on June 9, according to a survey carried out by Ipsos for Euronews to which La Vanguardia has had access. The Popular Party would not only overtake the PSOE, winner of the 2019 event, but would double its seats, raising its representation from the current 12 seats to 25, with 37.7% of the votes (20.4% in the event former).
A result that is due not so much to the loss of support from the PSOE, which would only lose one seat to go from the 20 it currently occupies to 19, but to the transfer of votes from Ciudadanos, which would barely retain 1 of the 7 current parliamentarians according to this survey. However, the socialists would go from having the confidence of 33.2% of voters to 28.6%, suffering serious wear and tear.
Vox, for its part, would become the third Spanish force in Brussels with 6 seats and 10.4% of support, above Sumar, which with 9.7% of support would maintain its current 6 seats. The Ipsos survey also grants a seat to Podemos thanks to the votes of 2.4% of Spanish voters, favoring it in the single constituency.
The bloc formed by ERC, Bildu and BNG would lose one of its 3 representatives to remain at 2 with 3.8% of the votes, while Junts would also lose one of the current 2 to remain with only one parliamentarian.
The study reveals that in the EU as a whole, support for far-right and ultra-conservative parties increases significantly and opens up an uncertain future of pacts in which stability would be found in a great pact of unity of pro-European forces. that would add a clear majority with 63% of the parliamentary seats.
The majority, however, would be for the European People’s Party, with 177 of the 720 seats at stake; followed by Socialists and Democrats, with 136.
