Isabel Díaz Ayuso has emphatically won the elections in the Community of Madrid.

The 90.5% scrutiny of the ballots - this time without any shocks - left the PP candidate with a group of 65 deputies, more than double the 30 she had in this legislature, which translates into an endorsement of his management at the head of the Puerta del Sol Government during the coronavirus pandemic.

However, the regional president and candidate for reelection has remained five seats from the absolute majority that no poll had predicted, but that the Genoa street party was confident until the last moment that it could reach.

Even so, it has more parliamentarians than the three parties of the left together, which add up to 58, which will allow it to stand for the investiture without the need to reach an agreement with Vox: it would be worth the fact that in the second round the party of Rocío Monasterio is abstain, since it is only necessary to obtain more yeses than noes.

Unmitigated disaster for the PSOE, which loses 13 seats in the Vallecas Assembly if it wins the 2019 elections, going from 37 to 24. The traditional voters of the Ferraz street party have personified in the figure of Ángel Gabilondo a vote of punishment for the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, who has been personally involved in the design of the campaign.

Neither has he benefited from his change in the middle of the campaign in the strategy of post-electoral pacts: from "with this Iglesias, no", to try to attract those disenchanted with Citizens marking distances with Podemos, he went to "Pablo, we have 12 days to Win the election".

The other winner

The candidacy of Más Madrid has been the other winner of this appointment with the polls, bordering on the

surprise

of the hegemonic party of the left that came to point out a poll, with which it tied in seats. Mónica García, an anesthetist doctor unknown to the public just a month ago, has launched a campaign based on feminism and green policies "against the extreme right", which has allowed her to improve the result that Íñigo Errejón obtained two years ago by sharing a ticket electoral with Manuela Carmena: it rises to 24 deputies, four more than currently.

In the case of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias has managed to increase the seats that Isa Serra achieved in 2019 from seven 10, when he was about to be left out of the regional Assembly before the push of the party founded by the former

purple

leader

.

Seeker

Look for

However, the alleged blow of effect of the former vice president of the Government who left La Moncloa to directly confront Ayuso has not managed to give flight to the formation, which is maintained by the minority parliamentary group in the Vallecas hemicycle.

The other big loser in this electoral contest is Ciudadanos (Cs).

After two legislatures being the decisive political force for the formation of PP governments -in 2015 with external support and in 2019 under the coalition formula-, the

orange

formation

is left out of the Madrid Assembly, having achieved only 3.5 % of the votes, a point and a half less than those necessary to obtain representation.

Citizens, the loser

Its candidate, Edmundo Bal, has proposed a campaign located in a diffuse political center as an antidote to the extremes on one side and the other of the ideological arc and full of concrete proposals.

However, his clear position that his only possible alliance after May 4 would be with Ayuso has ended up leading the majority of his potential voters to opt for the "useful" ballot of the PP.

It has gone from 26 to zero representatives.

Despite the omnipresence of Santiago Abascal in the regional campaign to try to monopolize the voter most ideologically situated on the right, trying to place the problem of insecurity at the center of the debate, Vox has obtained 13 parliamentarians, only one more than now.

Although Ayuso will depend on their votes to be able to carry out mollar issues such as the Budgets, he remains in a position of numerical inferiority for the negotiation.

Participation in these elections has been the highest in history -80.7% - despite being held on a business day, two years ahead of schedule and in the midst of the fourth wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.

This percentage is 16.4 points more than in the May 2019 elections and 10.3 points more than in 1995, which was the appointment with the highest participation registered so far, with 70.3%.
