It 's more of a thud. It 's a historic defeat that the Spanish PSOE cashed in local elections. The nightmare that the Zapatero government was afraid of having to live, was initiated with the worst weather. The Spaniards, called to renew 8.116 municipalities and regional assemblies of 13 autonomous communities, except in the case of firing exceptions, have rewarded the Partido Popular.
The conservatives are growing by 10 points against the PSOE. A given explosive, whereas up to now, the best went back to 4.45 percentage points in 1995. In particular, the PP Mariano Rajoy wins in Valencia and Aragon, and especially in Madrid where he obtained an absolute majority even to the Municipality and the Regional Assembly.
"We were punished. We are hit by a tsunami caused by an economic crisis that has led to 5 million unemployed, "said Hot Elena Valenciano, a spokesman of the Election Committee of the PSOE. E 'following the same lines that the Prime Minister José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero spoke in the night, with a stern voice: "It' s been difficult to explain a policy based on economic recovery - said the leader of the PSOE - and we are punished by voters to a crisis affecting our country.
E ', but only through the reforms that we can improve the situation. But it is a challenging and difficult journey. " It is not only against the PP and the Socialists are losing ground. The collapse of Zapatero's party seems to be total, hit by a rejection from every angle. This is shown by the fall of reality has always been socialist strongholds.
It 's the case of the municipality of Barcelona after 32 years passes from left to right Catalan nationalist CiU, the Convergència Unio. Another clear example is the town of San Sebastian in the Basque Country. Always in the hands of the Socialists, now Bildu, Abertzale the left, the first party of the city.
In the rest of Euskadi, Bildu has a surprising statement, becoming the second largest party in the community. A further blow to the Zapatero government in recent months, attempted to prevent the presence of the Basque party to the consultation, on charges of being a descendant of Batasuna, considered the former political wing of ETA.
But the fiery results coming from the polls but do not shake a whisker motion 15-M. The triumph of the PP does not take by surprise those who expect "Democracia Ya Real." "We are facing a scenario that we propinano decades. This is the usual stuff of bipartisanship between PP and PSOE - says Jorge, the camp of the Puerta del Sol, Madrid - which by the way now are the same policy.
But apart from that, we ask a simple thing, not at all utopian: to be taken into account the minority parties. With this electoral law does not count for anything. " Even in Barcelona, the camp at Plaza Catalunya, the comments are more than lukewarm. 15-M the movement in recent days has discussed extensively the practice to abstain or vote blank ballot.
But in no area was never given a precise indication. Many of the occupants turned out to vote, but without illusions: "We voted because we had already decided. But as usual there's the power of the parties that there are - say a pair of Catalans - so we do not change much. And 'from this place that we expect change, because this is where we released our democratic conscience.
