This is how political formations will look at the final vote counts in provincial municipalities, where the tightness of the results can turn the balance to one side or the other. This is the case of municipal governments such as Crevillent, Orxeta or El Ràfol d’Almúnia, and also of the party that claimed victory in Alcoy.. PSPV is also aiming to get one more district MP.

Last Sunday’s elections left nearly a hundred city councils awaiting deliberations between different political formations, but there are others where detailed counting of votes has been made that will either approve or change the color of governments. The most striking example due to the size of the municipality is the Crevillent example, where mathematical calculations have been made since election night.

Interim results point to an executive composed of PP and Vox, but the left still hopes to continue at the head of the consulate. For this to be possible, Compromís’ brand, Acord per Guanyar, would need 14 more votes, giving the nationalist establishment another councilor at the expense of Vox, who would lose him. In this way, the Valencianists will have nine councilors, the PP eight, the Vox and PSPV two.

And while it’s complicated, it’s not entirely impossible, especially since during this week each district’s electoral boards will not only recount the votes cast at the polls last Sunday, but also They will also have to include those from residents registered in their municipality and indirectly abroad..

The current mayor, José Manuel Penalva, announced his intention to leave the City Council after learning of the results, but stressed this Tuesday that the decision would be reconsidered if the vote finally allowed him to continue using the command stick.

However, there are other municipalities in the province where a few differences suggest that variations may be recorded. This is the case of Orxeta, where PP beat PSPV by just three votes.this gives him four councilors compared to three, and also El Ràfol d’Almúnia, where the same distance and same distribution of councilors is recorded, but with Compromís in the first position and behind the popular ones.

PP will also closely examine the number of points in Alcoy, where PSPV, led by Toni Francés, won by 23 votes. If a change in favor of the people was registered, they would not only rise to victory, but also get a councilor from the Socialists. This hypothetical change would not, in any case, have to affect the color of the government, as the Socialists would continue to be given numbers if they reached an agreement with Compromís and Guanyar Alcoi..

Reviewing the minutes and votes from abroad also gives PSPV a chance to get a more autonomous MP in the state.. For this to be possible, he will need to add 283 new props, which will give him 12 seats at the expense of Vox, who will lose and stay in third. While Óscar Mengual, head of the Socialists’ legal department, points to a different reality in these elections, he agrees that the possibility is “quite remote” and that those registered in Spain residing abroad must request a vote earlier and do so directly at consulates, which is He also emphasizes that “it may lead to some surprises”.

Committee

Compromís is presented this Tuesday A letter of claim before the Dénia electoral board, because the Ministry of Interior continues without giving a place to itself in the Provincial General Assembly. The website that collects the official results gives two seats to PP and one seat to PSPV in the Marina Alta area, despite the Valencia fans assuring them of adequate support. As MP Gerard Fullana explained, “at the meeting they told us that there was indeed a mistake, but advised us to present the document so that it could be corrected.” With this, the PP will lose an MP, although it will retain an absolute majority in the provincial organization.
