HE Elche’s PSOE While you may view the outcome of this Sunday as a defeat or an opportunity, what you should not do is get depressed or start looking for blame. In fact, the call for the 23 July General Election should make him see that he needs to think about tomorrow. He didn’t even have 24 hours to bandage his wounds. WITH Carlos Gonzalez You can’t judge him, his party, or the city by the outcome of this Sunday. for his eight-year term. It wasn’t this 28M who kicked him out of the Mayor’s Office.
The way they understand the city from their point of view, through a bumpy, unconvincing but always perfectly defensible prism. personal and political And he thought he was doing his best. He saved the municipal government in 2015 and improved the results in the last two municipalities, in 2019 and 2023, which did not allow him to reissue the mayorship this Sunday because perhaps the management of the streets, Police, parks or parties It looks more national than local.
Ayuso and Pedro Sanchez
Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s appearance on television or Pedro Sánchez’s announcement of a rental law may have more repercussions. What happened at Elche? this Sunday, the administration itself. This does not hide the fact that they can do it. did different things, that he maintains a much more critical mood with other administrations that were friends at the time, or that a councilor who was too worthy to disappear is repeated on the list. But this is not one reproach moment. The Socialists undoubtedly got the best they could offer: that of Carlos González, a recognizable councilor whose slobber the Socialist executive had to swallow because the party decided to offer yes or yes to mayors. Regardless, socialists they stayed awayfar from the two formulas they have to manage.
6,172 votes
The PSOE has 6,172 votes left to get 13 councilors on Sunday. what would give him the most Added to the mayor who obtained the Settlement to reaffirm the Mayor’s Office. a very important distance because it would have to increase from 38.66% of votes to 43.4%. The Socialists were the most supported force in the 28M, with nearly 1,500 votes (43,543 to 42,068) against the PP. they will take the cat to the water Thanks to the more than predictable agreement between Pablo Ruz (11 councilors) and Aurora Rodil (Vox, three councilors).
Suffrage and administration
Sticking with the election result, the Socialists did not suffer the logical wear and tear that the eight-year government assumed. They increased in votes and percentages; so, improved results and that’s because he convinced more people with his administration than Elche. They got 6,200 more votes than in the 2019 municipal elections, from 36.79% to 38.66% of the electorate, but remained with the same council members In his private life, González hoped to reach 13 on election day, but in public he always spoke of the absolute majority, 14. with their internal strifecan pay at the ballot box loss of representationas are.
The nationalist party closed the night with 6,174 support, 5.48%, losing one councilor. It’s down one percentage point compared to 2019, and it got a little over 400 votes because it got 6,598 at the time. 28M rose in Elche number of voters at six points, from 59.9% to 66%, but you compromise it was the only power that declined in percentage and votes among those currently represented.
Ups, downs and surprises in 28 million votes
It was a recount with few bumps or surprises. Positions were very clearly defined, with a PSOE leading the vote with 12 councilors, as practically 30% of the votes counted were reached, but never reached a percentage that he would feed the hope of a thirteenth mayor. with a PP went with the flow He voted all night with 11 councillors, and the decisive thing: Vox. Led by Rodil, the formation was very consolidated with over 11.4% of the vote, which allowed it to practically double (from 5.93%) as well as the number of citizens who bet on them at the polls: 12,860 in 2019. 6,024 last Sunday is a mayor who will walk away from the PSOE, although he is far from being a fourth councillor. PP won two councilors and power what has grown the most After hitting bottom on Elche in 2019 when it added 28,735 and 27.71% because it got over 14,000 votes to reach 42,060. It grew 50 percent and 10 percent in voters. all voters because it reaches 37.35%.
impossible alliance
question now if a coalition is Compromís+Unidas Podemos He used to hire a mayor from the left in Elche, and there is an answer to this: No. The purple formation received 2,405 votes, that is, losing almost half of the votes (4,660) it received in 2019, which would have been valid for Marian Campello to take her place in the general assembly, but It would be at the expense of number 12 of Elche’s PSOE.. In other words, the total between the Socialists and the left’s 14 coalitions of PP and Vox (11+3) would continue to be 13 (11+2).
But you have to look at the entire Elementary process that led to the March 14 Accords announcing that nothing was going to happen. A Guanyar in Elche With Unidas as in other towns, perhaps to understand why nationalist party It continues to lose votes as it surpassed 12,000 votes and four councilors in 2015.
fourth on the list
Of the 2,700 people who voted in this February primary, about 1,700 chose Esther Díez as their candidate, which forced negotiations with the purples to the point of offering them only fourth place on the list, and they rejected it. Maybe Díez won the civil war that day, but no one doubts that this 40-day internal election process means: a great wear in the eyes of his loyal voters. Let’s not forget that part of the campaign comes from discrediting the opponent. Now they may have paid at the ballot box this internal voting process at the ballot boxes, because it is the only party to join the new company by losing its support and percentage of votes. And maybe if they had reached an agreement with Podemos at the end of last year, it wouldn’t have been Compromís’ voters themselves. they would punish party or maybe yes, but we’ll never know. What we do know is that in Elche, the PP will prevail and it is difficult to be found guilty.
