The left mobilizes before a possible "Ayuso" government (PP-Vox) in Andalusia

They say that elections are not won by the right but lost by the left. For this reason, the mobilization of the electorate is the first objective set by the PSOE, Por Andalucía and Adelante Andalucía. The bridges that the PP of Juanma Moreno and Vox, headed in Andalusia by Macarena Olona, ​​have publicly built, could give a push to the undecided and disenchanted from both formations in fear of an extreme right-wing government.

Although it was an open secret that the popular and those of Abascal were going to have to end up understanding each other, according to the results of the latest polls, which leave Moreno 6 seats away from the absolute majority and, therefore, in need of the support of Vox, the confirmation of wanting to make "an Ayuso" in the community by Moreno (a single-color government with "specific support" from the extreme right in important decisions for Andalusians) has become the trick that the parties are going to play leftists during the campaign.

"They want us to assume that the future is theirs" and "that we not go to vote," commented the head of the PorA list, Inmaculada Nieto, who insisted that "resignation paves the way for the greatest robbery they can do to us, which is politics” to make this tool “whatever they want” and “cause the greatest destruction” in health, education and the environment. "But we have to recover the thread of sanity in things, and on 19-J whatever happens to the majority will happen," she declared.

The leader of the confluence of the left, at a rally in Huelva, referred to the number of polls published daily that reinforce the idea that Moreno "has already won", however she emphasized that, despite the data from the polls and the "speech of the Bishop of Huelva", they do not have everything with them. "They want us to believe that, whatever we do, Moreno is going to be president again, only that we would have enough, or with Olona," he pointed out, however, "politics is not going to be stolen from us" because "we are going to be the protagonists of the film and we are not going to allow ourselves to be used by that majority that wants to use us”, since he insisted that “we deserve a decent government that we are proud of”.

Nieto called on all those who formed "queues at health centers" to do the same on 19-J in defense of public health, quality education, adequate social services "with which others do business" and for the defense of the environment despite the fact that "some wacko deniers" insist that climate change does not exist.

For his part, Juan Espadas, PSOE candidate for San Telmo, pointed out that these are "decisive elections" to stop the "common-law couple" formed by PP and Vox, and only socialism "is the alternative." "People have to go out en masse to the streets because we are playing a lot for Andalusia", declared the Sevillian, who insisted that "what is scary is not what the PSOE says, but what happens", the pact between the rights.

And to stop its progress, he added, the electorate must be mobilized, and this involves the "mobilization of militancy" to achieve a "united and strong" party that can and knows how to "better manage public resources."

The aspiring to re-place the flag with the fist and the rose in the Board has insisted that this "de facto couple" will take the region to other times and has insisted that Moreno will not get "the punctual support" of Olona to his whim because those of Vox "come to govern with him".

He said it in the pre-campaign, during the first electoral debate and in the middle of his acts: he is not going to support a government with Vox as a member of it. Juan Marín, candidate of the orange formation for the presidency of the Board, has insisted today that his decision is firm. He does not want to see Olona occupying any position in the Andalusian Government and will do everything possible to prevent this photo from taking place despite Moreno's intention to rely on those of Abascal in the "important issues" of the Andalusians.

He trusts, he has said, in obtaining the necessary support to reissue a coalition with the popular ones and he has the "feeling" that this will be the case because "what works should not be changed." From his point of view, there are two options: either him as vice president or "tremendous mess."

In the last elections (2018), when the PP took control of San Telmo thanks to its coalition with Cs and the support of Vox, abstention stood at 41.35%, five points more than in 2015. They were the left-wing voters who punished their related parties, both Susana Díaz's PSOE and Adelante Andalucía (a group of Podemos and IU) for their unstable union.

The corruption and the weariness towards the PSOE was then taken advantage of by a Juanma Moreno who, despite getting fewer deputies than the socialists (26 against 33), managed to reach an agreement with Cs and obtain the support of Vox. The fist and the rose took a big hit in the last elections, where they lost 14 seats (2015) at a stroke. The right reached the command posts in a legislature that has lasted three and a half years.

In this time, Moreno has managed to strengthen his followers and fish in the fishing ground of socialists disenchanted with the last stage of government, according to surveys. In fact, he has become the best valued candidate according to a report prepared by the consulting firm Thinking Heads. Out of 60 points, the man from Malaga has achieved the highest score (58.6) while Macarena Olona has obtained the lowest (40.6).

Likewise, the consultancy has determined that it is the popular one that would have the easiest way of obtaining a transfer of votes to his party among Andalusians who do not share his ideology.
