2023 Spanish General election results. Right wing opposition blocfalls short of expected majority, Sánchez might be reelected.
Parties:
• PP: right/center-right (opposition leader).
• PSOE: center-left (govt)
• Vox: far-right
• Sumar: left/far-left coalition (govt partners)
• Bildu, ERC, BNG: Left wing moderate (ish) separatists.
• PNV, CC: center-right Basque/Canary nationalist. Do not want independence.
• Junts: right wing Catalan separatists. Tried to declare Catalan independence in 2017.
• UPN: Similar to PP but with a Navarrese regionalist (anti Basque nationalist) twist.
Majority: 176 seats
PP+Vox+UPN+CC: 172.
Everyone else except Junts (aka the parties that made Sánchez president in 2020): 171.
Junts
(7 seats) said they will support whoever gives them an independence
referendum. But that’s impossible. So the possibilities are:•
Junts reaches a more reasonable compromise with Sánchez (more likely
than with Feijóo) and risks being seen as traitors by hardcore
separatists.• The elections are repeated around Christmas.
