- The second parts are not very dear in all the arts. Nor in politics. The results have more déjà vu than they do again, but there are a couple of reasons to rejoice. On the one hand, the rise of neofascism in Spain is 1,300 votes more than zero. On the other hand, the strength of those who deny the decision-making capacity of Euskal Herria is lower. Unionism has come down. What PSE, PSN and Navarra have dropped Suma is similar to what the pp has gone up, but the general slap of Citizens has left it here in the negative unionist balance. Thus, the representation of the ultraderechysts of the Basque Country – PP, C’s and Vox – remains two to two in the congress, both of Navarra Suma.
We will start by quoting the usual component of Marmota Day: PNB. Whatever happens here and in the world, he has demonstrated, for the umpteenth time, that that machine is very well oiled to win the election. And also, as in Bizkaia, if the bait is left by hand.
Iñigo Errejón has celebrated a “mestra play” that has been known in Catalonia. Also in the Basque Country. In the Basque Country they have only been presented in Bizkaia and have become PNV More Country More, with Txema Urkijo in the lead. He has taken advantage of the breakdown of the vote around Podemos for, as usual, the fastest in the class that knows how to fish from the right, the left, up and down. Thanks to this fourth seat of the PNV in Bizkaia, the autonomists will enjoy in Madrid the widest representation ever seen: seven parliamentarians. Concerning the development of the votes, one point is: We were able to win eight representatives in last year’s Basque elections and 428,000 votes in last year’s Basque autonomists. Three years later, the friends of Churches are half: four parliamentarians and 236,000 votes.
Navarrism has once again shown that it is more effective to submit applications under the same acronym than to multiply. After the Barkos government, he learned the lesson, and Navarre Sum of UPN, PP and C’s has easily won the elections. In addition to this, the rise of 1.2 points of Vox (remaining above Geroa Bai) and the good results of the neofascists in the Ribera – 13% in Tudela and 12% in Corella – is better understood why being still Basque is an exercise of resistance in Navarra. A new Altsasu/Alsasua fichaje for Resistance arrives in Madrid: Bel Pozueta from EH Bildu, to the detriment of the PSN. The Abertzale left has not achieved representation in Navarre since 2011, and has also improved two points in the good results of that time. Navarros have been the main stimulus for the general rise of HD Bildu.
Marmota Day in Gipuzkoa and Álava. Everything looked the same. As in Navarre, in Álava, the only doubt was the seat of EH Bildu. And the result has also faded off the independence side. After fleeing to Segovia to warm up an armchair, Marimar Blanco has won 500 votes less than Maroto, who has been left without a prize of any year. They have stayed away, as Iñaki Ruiz de Pinedo has achieved 2,600 more, which has meant an increase in the gap with pp.
In short, not only in the party’s proposals, but also in the elections to Spain, the results are very different. For those of us who want to decide about our lives, this time defeated by Catalonia, they are repressive noises from the Ebro down, from the PSOE to VOX. And the umpteenth general relaunch of the results of Spain, what path does it leave for those of us who want to deepen democratic values? What do we have to agree on in Madrid with the Basques and the Catalans, apart from the colour of the bars of the cells reserved for us or the high-speed train stations? Here are five or seven representatives...
