Significant declarations and demands were made in Seville: “Don’t forget to change the time, at two in the morning it will be 1936” and “380,000 Andalusians have voted, among others, the rebuttal of García Lorca”.

Rise of the right

This is the second time that participation has fallen by 60% since 1982. In 1990, only 54% voted and now only 56.6%. Once again, the Socialists have imposed themselves, but not with an absolute majority, as they have lost 400,000 votes. It is envisaged that the possible agreement to form government will be between three parties on the right: The pp has won 26 seats, Citizens 21 and the ultra-right Vox 12.

The results of the Sunday elections exceeded all expectations. The government of Susana Díaz was expected to fall, but under no circumstances could the loss of 400,000 votes be predicted. However, the PSOE remains the most voted party and Díaz will try to form government. “Although we have lost many votes I am not going to leave office, I represent the majority of Andalusians,” said Susana Díaz.
