Spain makes numbers in search of a stable Government

USPA NEWS - The results of the legislative elections held last Sunday in Spain have led to widespread political earthquake in every party, which these day post-vote debate their positions in search of governance.

And it is that the scores do not go to any of the political parties with a chance of governing. The conservative Popular Party (PP) of the hitherto Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, would require the abstention of the Socialist Party (PSOE) and the centrist Citizens to invest Rajoy for a new mandate to form a Government. His 123 deputies and the 130 abstaining totaling between socialists and Citizens would be sufficient to overcome any opposition to the Government of Spain remains conservative.

Citizens announced that it would abstain in the vote to facilitate the investiture of Rajoy, but warns that the PSOE vote against. The position taken ultimately be the result of an intense debate that began Tuesday and pitting supporters of the Socialist Party remains faithful to its principles and those who prefer to take the opportunity that is presented and try to govern with the support of other left parties. In this case, they need the support of Podemos and United Left, that is, from the extreme left and the Communists.

But support of Podemos have a price. Socialists should accept the holding of a referendum in Catalonia about the unity of Spain and that clashes with what from the beginning has been defending the very opposite of the territorial segregation of Catalonia the Socialist Secretary General Pedro Sanchez. PSOE prominent regional leaders spoke out Tuesday about this issue. Thus, the president of the regional Government of Andalusia, Susana Diaz, urged his fellow socialists to accept the condition first opposition party that has given the polls.

Susana Diaz believes that the PSOE should vote "absolutely not" Mariano Rajoy in the investiture session, but warned that the Socialists should not fall into the "opportunism" or "political adventurism" they agreeing with to govern at all costs. Anyway, with the votes of United Left and Podemos will not leave the scores to the PSOE. Require the affirmative vote of the nationalist parties. Basque nationalists have announced that they will vote against Rajoy, but the support of Catalan is not safe nor socialist nor conservative.

While speculating on how the election results fit for a stable Government and to avoid the repetition of the elections are made, Tuesday King Philip VI recorded Christmas message to be broadcast on television in prime time on next Thursday. It is expected the King to make an appeal for dialogue for the benefit of institutional and economic stability of Spain.
