The president of the Government, Pedro Sanchezhas announced the advancement of the general elections to Sunday, July 23 after the bad result achieved by his party in the municipal and regional elections of this 28M.
Now, with this electoral advance, Pedro Sánchez seeks to overcome the bad result in just two monthss. The PP has won in 27 provincial capitals and recovers six autonomous communities. WhileThe PSOE only retains Castilla-La Mancha with an absolute majoritythanks to Emiliano García Page, who is the most critical socialist leader of Sánchez.
Los Socialists could take over Asturias and Navarra, but they need to agree. In Extremadura, despite the technical tie, the PP could govern, the current president, Guillermo Fernandez Vara, already takes it for granted and announces that he is leaving politics.
The moment in which Sánchez has decided to call for general elections is plagued by unprecedented circumstances: It is the first time that general elections have been called in the middle of the summer holidays, it is also the first time that partial elections have led to such a rapid electoral advance and the first time that Spain will preside over the EU in the middle of the electoral process.
Advance the elections It is his coup de effect against the socialist defeat. But already critical voices in the PSOE suggest that Sánchez is looking for something more: avoid an internal crisis in the party. The appointment with the polls is the excuse for a call to unity and to avoid so that his leadership after the debacle is questioned. He already knows what it’s like to go through that. In 2016, Sánchez came to resign as general secretary after a traumatic Dederal Committee.
Another important issue is the preparation of the lists, an always complicated process within the parties, promises to be especially complicated on this occasiona, with territories in which, given the results of 28M, it will not be easy for Ferraz’s orders to be accepted peacefully.
What about sum?
If Sánchez has thrown an order at everyone, The first to accept it was Yolanda Díazwho has responded that he assumes the challenge of running for general elections with an unfinished project and with his weakened allies in regional and municipal governments.
Las tensions with We can must be solved in record timethe ten days given by the electoral law to formalize the coalitions that will attend the elections, so the problem of “primaries yes, primaries no” can be resolved by the electoral urgency itself.
