Above and beyond the revolt of the Spanish media, the result of the Catalan elections is clear: independence has won the elections. Of the 135 deputies, 72 are independentists (62 JxS and 10 CUP), an undisputed independence majority, especially as independence achieved its best results in the last legislature with 24 deputies (21 ERC and 3 CUP). So far, Convergence has never come up with a specific independence programme, and that too must be remembered.

Given all the controversy that has arisen in the campaign on the subject, another truth should be highlighted: the reading of the plebiscite has prevailed and, again, the analysis by the Spanish parties and media has been blurred.

They stress that independence, with 47.8% of the votes, has not won over the others, but they do not mention that the “no” parties (C’s, PSC-PSOE and PP) have achieved 39%. Nor did 11.5% vote with plebiscite logic, as did Catalunya. Yes, it is Pot (coalition between Podemos and Ezker Batua) and the UDC of Duran Lleida, which has disappeared. Nor has it been regrettable that 1.1% of the votes were taken by other forces outside the Basque Parliament.

It should be noted that the opportunities that have sought to flee the dialectic of the plebiscite, such as the United, have remained very few, or their forecasts have remained very small, for example, to the coalition of Initiative and Podemos.

The plebiscitary logic has given C’s victory and superiority in Spanish nationalism. It almost triples the result with 25 Members and leaves the big loser of the day at the door of the general election. The PSC-PSOE, for its part, has lost Members, although it has not received a punch of the size predicted by the surveys.

There has been a record of participation and the political and media bloc of the “no” has made an apocalyptic campaign; therefore, with these results, independence has received a clear mandate that gives legitimacy to its proposal. However, the results obtained make it clear that the Catalan process rotates to the left and will have to assume its social proposals.

We will have to wait for the foreign vote to come, but with these results the investiture of Mas is complicated, because to do so, in addition to the 62 members of JxS, you will need some Cup. And so far, the Cup has always reversed that possibility. Negotiations will now begin between these two forces, with the aim of overcoming the biggest problem that exists at the moment for the formation of a new government.

It's just two solutions, or there's a change of leadership or the Cup changes its focus. This debate is already among the independentists, and yet the order is clear and the process is going on. The Spanish press has it for a moment.
