The results of the regional elections in Andalusia have been clear and resounding. Today there are more Andalusians who distrust the left than there were in 2018. The group of what we could call right-wing parties (PP, VOX and Ciudadanos), have obtained 862,000 more votes than those obtained by the parties of the left (PSOE, AA and PA), increasing the difference that existed four years ago, which was 112,000 in favor of the right. In short, 750,000 people have turned to their right, the vast majority coming from Ciudadanos, but also a considerable part of socialist voters, while possibly a part of the alternative left vote, fed up with the divisions, has taken refuge in the PSOE . The success of the PP, which more than doubles its votes and seats, is impressive and is supported by a successful message from Juan Manuel Moreno and his team, who have achieved four important objectives: achieving an absolute majority with ease, almost completely engulfing Ciudadanos , stop the growth of VOX and obtain a percentage of former socialist voters; and incidentally help Núñez Feijóo on his way to Moncloa, after moderating the message of the state PP and the various regional PPs.
The relative slowdown of VOX is true, which grows “only” votes, but we cannot ignore that nearly half a million Andalusian votes have opted for an extremist and “cunera” candidate. And the most worrying thing is the disaster of the alternative and divided left, which loses more than half of its seats and 134,000 votes, 23%. Teresa Rodríguez , a Active Phone Number List wonderful political agitator in the purest tradition of leftist Trotskyism and Andalusian anarchism, is happy to think that she has been the main architect of the stoppage of VOX and does not seem very concerned about her role in the future Andalusian Parliament and in Andalusian society itself is totally irrelevant. Teresa and her people have not lifted a finger to achieve a unified candidacy with the remains of Podemos and Izquierda Unida, surely very burned by the sectarian behavior that they have had with them in the last legislature. A certain self-critical reflection on both sides would be desirable, but I am very skeptical about it.
The coalition headed by Inma Nieto , under the very weak title of “For Andalusia”, after a confusing birth and fits and starts, in my opinion has sent the wrong message. Focusing their objective on representing feminism, LGTBI groups and environmentalism, from radical approaches, as well as denouncing a future PP-VOX pact, initially placed them in a minority role, far from the concerns and interests of the majority. of the population and of course very distant from what Yolanda Diaz apparently intends to launch. The PSOE also opted to lose the elections (after having won them in 2018), with a less than exciting candidate and a message of denunciation rather than proposals. The faces of those who appeared at the press conference on election night were very eloquent of the disaffection of those who have governed Andalusia for decades and now do not know very well what to offer the Andalusian citizens. As it is, on the left we have already had three good hits in a row, Madrid, Castilla y León and now Andalusia. It is true that mechanical extrapolations should not be made between the regional and state elections, but the prospects are increasingly worrying for the continuity of a progressive government.
