  • Elections Why Juanma Moreno is thinking, again, of bringing forward the Andalusian elections to June

"Health and that "one is right in his

decisions

". That is what the president of the Andalusian Government, Juanma Moreno, asks for in the visits that these days he makes to Holy Week brotherhoods of the entire community, the last one, this very Holy Tuesday, to the Brotherhood of the Cerro del Águila in Seville, which like so many others has canceled its season of penance due to the rain.

Moreno has been

reflecting

these days on one of the most important decisions he has had to make since he arrived at the Palacio de San Telmo, the date on which he calls the regional elections, which would take place at the end of this year but which, except for a major surprise, will be held in advance.

"The first thing is health and that one is correct in the decisions, that the decisions that one makes are always weighing in the general interest of Andalusians," Moreno said this Tuesday, who plans to announce his decision after Easter, although Everything indicates that the

month of June

will be the chosen one compared to the other option that, until recently, was considered, the month of October.

Furthermore, of the three dates,

three Sundays

, on which the elections could be held in June -12, 19 and 26-, the one that is gaining the most strength right now is the second Sunday of the month, that is, the day 12

In the executive itself, these days they were already ruling out the 26th because it was too late and because by that time the school holidays would have already started, with all that that implies.

On the 19th it has the

added difficulty

that there are education oppositions called and some of its headquarters are, at the same time, electoral colleges, something that would complicate logistics.

In addition to all of the above, in the last hours between the parties that form the government coalition -PP and Cs- information has begun to circulate that points to

the 12th

as the one finally chosen by Moreno.

If so,

next Tuesday

, the 19th, the Andalusian president would have to dissolve Parliament so that the elections could be held after 54 days, that is, on June 12.

Juanma Moreno could announce it on Monday or the same Tuesday, when the weekly Governing Council is scheduled to be held.

The dissolution has to be published in the

Official Bulletin of the Junta de Andalucía

(BOJA), but it could be done on the same Tuesday through an extraordinary edition.

"There will be no advance"

Whatever the decision of the president of the Board, the Andalusian Government is now trying to convince that it will not be an advance election, since the elections have to be held this year.

"2022 is an

electoral year

, elections are due this year, before or after the summer," the Minister of the Presidency and Government spokesman, Elías Bendodo, stressed this Tuesday after the meeting of the Governing Council in San Telmo.

"Advancement is discarded", he has emphasized, although the elections take place in June.

In this line, Bendodo has reiterated the economic

arguments

in favor of the polls being placed before the summer, highlighting the need to have an approved budget and not extended, like the current one, because it is "the best tool against the crisis and it is not can fight with one hand tied behind his back.
