Many times, when it's least expected, things change by surprise. Thanks to the European elections, which some will not thank you, of course, the political landscape has begun to change. There are many possible readings depending on different variables: territories, parties, ideologies... I have done my best, depending on the illusion and the future, which is also legitimate.

In the CAPV, the results leave an open picture: The PNV has won with EH Bildu nearby. The PSOE and pp have received a brutal varapalo and the sum of votes of Ezker Anitza-IU and Podemos guarantees them an interesting place in the future.

In Navarre the situation is different, but with a similar trend: Pp has won, but EH Bildu approaches him. The PSOE, the PSN, has been hit hard, the PNV has brought some bad results, far behind Left Ezkerra and Podemos.

In Catalonia, everything remains to be decided: ERC has stood ahead of the CIU, exceeding by 55% both parties, while Spain’s main parties have plummeted.

In Spain, it is difficult to make the results clearer: Pp plus PSOE have lost 5,000,000 votes and between them they do not reach 50% -26% and 23% -, Plural Left achieves 10%, We can 8%, UPyD 6.5%, Spring Europe 2% and so on.

In Europe, the most important thing has been the rise of the ultra-right and xenophobic parties, which have been highlighted as the most important. It is truly incredible that in France, England, Denmark or Austria those parties have won between 10% and 29% of the votes.

It is very difficult to draw general conclusions, but it is clear that the people have opted for change: In Europe it has turned to the right, in the CAV and in Navarre, as in Spain, it has turned to the left. Two different ways of channelling the anger of citizenship and that can have very different consequences.

So far the results. But the consequences of these results are now, especially in Spain: the PP in the government by an absolute majority has achieved only 26% of the votes and the PSOE, which has until recently governed, has achieved only 23%.

The pp has tried to conceal his defeat, remembering that he has won, but the blow has been very hard. The PSOE, on the other hand, has not had that option: His defeat has been palpable, after he was told he had the opportunity to take a big step forward. It now realizes, inevitably, that it does not have a clear direction, that it is unplanned and that it has long renounced leftist policy. In these elections the people have turned their backs on both their politics and their leaders. From now on, the work is hard, as the choice of the leader will be the least. The PSOE, including the PSE and the PSN, of course, has to make profound decisions, recast, choose its role and decide its framework, that is, choose between the rights of citizenship or between the economic powers and the undisputed unity of Spain.

The picture on our territory is, of course, different. The left has emerged strongly from these elections – with EH Bildu in the lead, but also with Ezker Anitza-IU and Podemos – and new alliances can be expected in the future. On the other hand, the dispute between the PNV and EH Bildu is being spectacular, especially in Gipuzkoa, and there is only one year left for the next municipal and foral elections.

However, the most striking consequence of these elections has been that new spaces are being opened up, that the situation that so far seemed immovable and lasting is beginning to move and that we are able to change our black future if we so wish. n
