It was election night at the headquarters in Alicante of the CC OO union, where Sumar set up headquarters for tonight. general elections Leaders and supporters in the province from the discouragement of the first surveys to semi-enthusiasm after learning of the first reviews even this improved the results of the parties forming the coalition government. Finally a sense of relief and joy to “stop the far-right” and avoiding the fiasco predicted by some surveys.
Thus, the night gets darker with the arrival of representatives of different ballot boxes and they convey that the loss of support predicted by the ballot boxes is not reflected in the actual results. of these Yolanda Diaz they failed to meet their goal of getting a second seat in the state – namely Txema Gravel will be its only representative – and they did not beat Vox in percentage of votes either. 12.85% of the borderline vote, compared to 16.24% of Abascal’s. In fact, the result represents a drop of more than four points on the ballots, which Podemos and Compromís added separately when they added 17% of the vote in 2019.
However, by avoiding the absolute majority of PP and Vox and leaving the door open for a new progressive government, they thought the results were good, yes, very difficult to achieve.
“We came from the coup and there was an incredible moral reaction”, secured Txema Guijarro, head of the Sumar roster in Alicante. “What has been proven today is that there are some towns here in Spain that are still progressive towns. They don’t want to see how the far right enters their institutions. and they know how to counter this threat at the ballot boxes,” he assured before an audience that eventually chanted “they won’t pass”.
Guijarro realized they were expecting slightly better results -“we were too close to the second seat He assured him about the possibility of getting a second MP in the constituency “in Alicante”, but also assured that he would be the “voice” taking the province’s demands to Congress.

If the chairman of the Senate coalition list, Manual Alcaraz, rated Sumar’s results in the state as “acceptable”, although he did not get the second seat they desired. It’s a request he finds “reasonable”, although he admits that the “polarization” in the campaign will punish them.
“As with 28M, it was a very prominent campaign due to the arrivals from Madrid,” said the veteran politician, emphasizing that Sumar only had a month to sell his bids and his election prospects went from little to more during this time.
“I think we can be happy with the result, because the left has not been defeated as the polls predicted, and there is a possibility of re-emerging a progressive government,” insisted Alcaraz, who had not had the senatorial action he desired, although his chances of getting it were very remote, given the electoral system of the Upper House. Of course, Alcaraz realizes that the option to reassign the left coalition government is extremely complex. Leaders like Podemos’s Manolo Copé think that a new election call in the coming months is almost inevitable.
