The PP wins, but does not finish. Alberto Núñez Feijóo proposed the European elections as a plebiscite and, although his victory is clear, it has not been enough to overthrow the Government of Pedro Sánchez. Even so, the Popular Party celebrates the victory as the party grows and its distance from the Socialists increases.

The PP has been the most voted force in 13 communities. It is their best historical result in European competitions since 1999. The map turns blue. Four points above the socialists, and almost a million and a half more votes than in 201 because they eat Ciudadanos who after this Sunday’s elections could be the end point of the orange formation.

Faced with the victory of the Popular Party, the resistance of the PSOE. Above 30% of the vote, a fact that Pedro Sánchez has clung to in today’s meeting of the socialist executive. The data has been bad in Andalusia, in Castilla La Mancha, Comunitat Valenciana and they have been saved by Catalonia, where they have managed to be the first force.

The Spanish socialists are, together with the Italians, those who contribute the most MEPs to the group of the new European Parliament. That’s why this afternoon Sánchez has been appointed negotiator of the European Social Democrats.

In Spain, the popular people today no longer talk about a motion of censure. They assure that the censorship has been done at the polls. From the PSOE contained joy. Although the polls a few months ago looked very dark, after the scrutiny they breathe easy, although in recent days expectations have risen. They expected a better result.

However, the political landscape has not changed that much. Two out of every three voters have chosen the PSOE or PP ballots for PP or PSOE. And the blocks have barely moved. Those who supported Sánchez for the investiture added 47.2% last night of the votes. Those who voted for PP and Voxadding the incorporation of ‘The party is over’, they obtained 48.4%.
