Spain Sum
- The new municipalities have been set up and it cannot be said that there have been great surprises. With the results of the municipal elections and the subsequent announcement of pacts, all or most of it was planned. Once again, if there were any setbacks in some towns in Navarre.

The truth is that it would not be a bad thing if the stealth of the election period – and the chaparron – were to be heard less and more programmes and content that benefit the citizens were mentioned.
In the drafting of these lines, the new quadripartite of Navarra has just reached a programmatic agreement. The quadripartite is new, because the PSN enters and leaves EH Bildu. They also agreed that the Socialists have vetoed those of Bildu, who have ensured that they are not... [+]

On 19 June, while he was in the constitutive session of the new Parliament of Navarre, on the front sidewalk, there were about 25-30 men behind a banner. They weren't relatives of the prisoners, they weren't workers of a company in crisis, they weren't even Euskaltzales worried... [+]
What does it mean to achieve good results in the elections? Ideologically, parties that coincide with the status quo tend to achieve institutional power and, furthermore, prefer to submit to it all political analyses. In the elections, what is well done is rewarded. And it's... [+]
What affects us when we vote? What ideas, intentions and emotions are there? Veiled political thoughts or elaborate considerations that reflect deeply and then unfold deep roots in our thinking? That we do not know where we have received the beliefs that we collect, as the... [+]
