An open stage that also appreciates the

PP,

Hence, it is turning to the call for a “useful vote” to concentrate support from

cs

,

vox

and disenchanted with the PSOE to have muscle and try to snatch up to six socialist communities, in the best of scenarios of their expectations.

Hence also that in recent days, the Socialists have intensified, with

Pedro Sanchez

to the head, the

call to mobilization

both his own, as well as the moderate voter and the undecided. “I ask you to go en masse to vote for the PSOE”, the president of the Government and leader of the PSOE launched at the closing of the campaign. We want everyone to vote. The PSOE has never carried out a demobilizing campaign,” they observe from

Ferraz

, aware that a high participation can play in their favor.

Socialists currently govern in nine of the 12 communities that vote for the

28-M

and in more than twenty provincial capitals. A whole political capital at stake. The PP has turned the appointment into a “plebiscite” for Sánchez and the government action, with the mantra of “repealing sanchismo”, driven by the prominence that the Prime Minister has gained in the campaign.

The last weeks have not been easy for the PSOE. The strategy revolved around a “positive” campaign that was based on a cascade of ads that Sánchez starred in around three axes:

living place

,

Education

and

Health

. “A campaign of coups that let's see what route they have”, they say in some territories that have seen how the presence of Sánchez has not been a loudspeaker for their demands as their measures monopolize the prominence. The president starred in a sequence of announcements until the last Council of Ministers was held on Tuesday, May 23 before 28-M. Without the possibility of approving measures before the elections, the final stretch of the campaign left

Sánchez orphan of initiatives.

The controversy over the lists

bildu

, which included

44 convicted of terrorism

, and the scandals over the

vote buying

, which among other parties splashes the PSOE in different places, have broken the socialist campaign. Although in the Government and in sectors of the party they consider that these matters will not have consequences, there are ministers and socialist leaders who believe that it “stains” the brand. “It's incredible what has happened.. One case, and another and another…”, laments a prominent leader. Despite the scaremongering and gossip, an attempt is made to encapsulate the scandals as “concrete cases”.

Feijóo

has defined the socialist situation as “an electoral mascletá”. In the PSOE they do admit that it has been an “atypical” campaign, with “garbage”.

“Now there is a party”

In the socialist machine room, despite the fact that Bildu and the purchase of votes have overshadowed their strategy, they show satisfaction with the work done. «We have made the campaign that we wanted. We have transferred proposals, project and illusion. We have talked about housing, education and health, “they point out from the heart of Ferraz. For example, about Bildu, everyone considers the topic “amortized” after the “tension” of the previous week.

The perception in the PSOE and in the Government is that it has gone from less to more. All the people consulted state that “if a few months ago there was no game, now there is”. They see options, although there are feuds like

The Rioja

that almost gives up already for lost. Within how even everything is, there is more optimism with the

Valencian Community

and

Balearics

. Two fiefdoms that, however, in the PP believe that they will fall on their side. The last

tracking

who drove the Valencian

Ximo Puig

They gave him the opportunity to reissue the

Botanic Pact

to rule. “In these elections, one thing is to win and another is governance…”, they confess in the party, emphasizing that the key is the pacts. The fact that

Can

, according to the polls, is holding up better than expected, it also inspires encouragement in the PSOE.

The Socialists consider that the campaign that the PP has carried out may end up benefiting them: «In front of us we have had a PP that has spoken of E

TA

, and issues that have nothing to do with the daily life of citizens. Sanchismo, 'the ETA', 'the Falcon…. and 'tralará'”, they say in the PSOE.
