Historic irruption of Vox in the Parliament with 11 seats, more than PP and Cs together in the results of the Catalan elections
As historical has been the result of
Vox
in
Catalonia
as forceful has been the punch that it has delivered on the table of its direct rivals.
The party of
Santiago Abascal
is with its 11 seats in
one of the big winners of the Catalan elections and the roundness of the blow caused a seismic shift in the
entire space of the center -
leaving
Citizens
in ruins and the
PP
, shaking.
Because this result reopens the dispute with
Pablo Casado
for leading the opposition to the
Sánchez
Government
.
A cold revenge for
Abascal
after being despised and repudiated by the president of the PP in the motion of censure.
Vox
achieves the long-awaited
surprise
to the
PP
but, in addition, it has managed to overcome the most optimistic of the forecasts by also overtaking Ciudadanos, which was the first constitutionalist party in
Catalonia
in 2017. Then
Vox
did not exist for practically anyone.
Now, less than four years later, it bursts into Parliament for the first time adding more seats than
PP
(3) and
Ciudadanos
(6) together and plunging them into a great depression, because it takes control of the poster of being the first party of the right .
Likewise, having a style and political goals that are very different from those of the PSC, those of Abascal also assume the symbolic role of exercising the nemesis of the independence movement and of battering ram in the confrontation against secessionism, collecting the witness of Cs in these years.
"They have made us the leaders of the opposition to separatism and the left," proclaimed Ignacio Garriga.
