“The PSOE confirms its fall”

The PP of María Guardiola established itself as the first force with the 43.2% of the votes and 29 seatsone more than in 2023. Enough progress to win, but insufficient to govern aloneleaving four deputies less of the 33 who constitute the absolute majority in the Assembly of Extremadura.

At the other end of the scale, The PSOE suffered a historic drop to 18 seatslosing ten compared to the previous call, and one 25.7% of the votes.

The presenter and artist Pedro Ruiz expressed this Monday on his X account the ambiguous feeling these results left. “The PP wins without realizing its desire and the PSOE confirms its great fall”he commented.

The elections “left the extremes satisfied”, according to Pedro Ruiz

In this sense, he emphasized that The elections “left the extremes satisfied”in reference to Vox and Unidas por Extremadura, while the two-party system has not obtained great advantages: “Christmas didn’t offer any unexpected gifts to the ‘grown-ups’”.

Vox emerged as the party that grew the most proportionallygoing from five to eleven deputies and consolidating itself as a third force and an essential player in any governance equation on the right.

For now, Vox leader Santiago Abascal has opened the door to a possible pact, saying that “The ball is in Ms. Guardiola’s court”. “It is the PP that must choose,” he added, referring to the other options on which the popular parties must agree, such as the PSOE or Unidas por Extremadura.

The latter party also had a good evening, during which it managed to increase from four to seven seats. The leader of the training, Irene de Miguel, claimed to be the “only light of hope for the transformative left from all over the country. “The unity that United for Extremadura implies is the way to confront the reduction of rights that the right is proposing,” he added.
