• End of campaign The PSOE makes the last call to vote to avoid disaster and the PP, so as not to depend on Vox

  • Tension The PSOE looks into the abyss of its first great defeat in Andalusia: "We are on the edge of the knife"

The thing about Juanma Moreno making

predictions

does not have much merit.

The Corpus Christi festivities in Seville and Granada and the suffocating heat have moved thousands of Andalusians to the beaches and have emptied many cities, just as the Andalusian president and PP candidate feared.

The

highways

that connect the Andalusian capital with the beaches that are closest to hand, those of Huelva and those of Cádiz, were filled with votes at the wheel and armed with umbrellas and refrigerators.

Not everyone will arrive on time this Sunday for their appointment with the polls, the worst nightmare for Moreno, who has not tired in the last week of asking, begging, begging those who had planned to flee to the coast who, before, passed through the electoral college.

The popular

candidate himself

was able to verify to what extent the votes can remain

on the seashore

while he was walking, along with his family, along the beach of Malaga, reminding those who crossed his path that there are elections in Andalusia this Sunday.

“Almost everyone tells me yes, although one has already told me that he cannot attend,” explained the president.

Among those who do not know if they will vote are José María Romo and Pilar Espí.

They are from Córdoba and have decided to spend this weekend on the beach in Málaga because “the heat is unbearable”.

With more than

40 degrees

in the Cordovan capital, "these days ago you couldn't even breathe," says Pilar and José María agrees with her with a nod.

They hadn't anticipated it.

They decided it at the last minute and although this Sunday they will return early and try to vote, "it is not something that keeps us up at night because, in short, politicians are all the same," they emphasize.

On the beaches, promenades, beach bars and terraces of Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, Estepona, Nerja, El Rincón de la Victoria or the city of Malaga itself, there was no room for a pin yesterday.

With the arrival of extreme temperatures -and infrequent for this time of the year- you can see that

there are more people

, says Rabia Jarmouni, who runs a restaurant in La Cala de Mijas, El Pikoteo, which these days is hanging daily the complete poster.

«This is an area where many foreigners always come, especially English, but in recent weekends we are also seeing many Spaniards.

Especially this one, surely the one he is falling for », he adds.

undecided until the end

Among those who went to the beach will probably be a good part of the 10% of Andalusians who until this very weekend will not decide the meaning of their vote.

There are more than 600,000 people,

the personified doubt

, but also the last hope of those who aspire to scratch votes until the last moment, the PSOE to avoid a debacle and the PP to be able to govern without Vox.

There are 4.3% who answered in the latest survey by the Center for Andalusian Studies, the Andalusian CIS, who decide who to vote for during the day of reflection and another 5.9% who assured that they hurry up even more and opt

for

the same electoral

college .

Old voters of the PSOE and women over 45 years of age are the

last bags of votes

, according to the studies carried out by the PP, which, within a more segmented campaign than ever, has directed specific messages to them in recent days through the social networks.

Candidates, rest and washing machines

The candidates of the main political formations spent the day of reflection in Andalusia, resting in the company of their

family and friends

and agreed to call for participation this Sunday.

The PP candidate, Juanma Moreno, enjoyed a day in Malaga accompanied by his wife and children, whom "I have had very neglected."

Meanwhile, the Cs candidate, Juan Marín, also chose his hometown, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and that of Vox, Macarena Olona, ​​was seen in

Salobreña

(Granada) where he is registered, at least for the moment.

The PSOE candidate, Juan Espadas, pointed out that "it is time to respect the citizens

without further messages

", while the candidate for Por Andalucía, Inma Nieto, returned to her home in Algeciras.

Finally, the candidate for Adelante Andalucía, Teresa Rodríguez, posted on her Twitter profile with her partner with the message «after two weeks

touring

Andalusia and with empty drawers, what am I going to do on the day of reflection?

Well, put washing machines, obviously ».
