The Popular Party has turned the Andalusian political map upside down after its victory in the municipal elections in which it has been the force with the most votes in the community as a whole, with a 4.8 point advantage over the PSOE. In addition to the number of votes, the popular ones achieve an absolute majority in five of the 8 capitals (Málaga, Almería, Córdoba, as well as Granada and Cádiz, which it did not previously have).
In addition, the PP seizes the mayor's office of Seville, one of the socialist bastions, and the popular Antonio Sanz will be the new mayor of the Seville capital with the most voted list and with an absolute majority if he adds the three mayors that Vox has achieved.
Overall, the PP has obtained more than 1.4 million votes in Andalusia in the 28M municipal elections, 185,000 more than the PSOE, a party that won in the Andalusian community in the elections four years ago with almost 400,000 votes apart. .
In percentages, the PP achieved 38.1 percent of the votes and the PSOE 33.3 percent, according to data from the Ministry of the Interior.
Jaén is the only scenario that is really open, since the PSOE and the PP tie with 11 councilors although the Socialists have a few hundred more votes, and it will be the Jaén Deserves More formation that has the key to government with its 3 councilors, since that Vox only has 2. Therefore it will be this provincialist party that decides if the capital of Jaén will be the only socialist one in all of Andalusia.
Seville, one of the socialist jewels for being the largest city governed by the PSOE, changes its mayor with the victory of the popular Antonio Sanz who has achieved 41.17% of the votes. With this result, he will be able to govern alone and in a minority, having secured the investiture as the new mayor. In addition, the popular has always been willing to agree with Vox, which has 2 councillors, so, if they joined, it could reach an absolute majority without a problem, which is 16.
The Socialists for their part have achieved 12 councilors but the accounts do not come out, since the left-wing coalition With Andalusia only has two.
After eight years of PSOE government in the Andalusian capital, the so-called "Moreno effect" is sweeping the Andalusian capital and practically the entire community, where the Socialists have barely achieved a draw in Jaén.
