Puncture of Spain emptied on 23-J. The groups against depopulation competed in the elections with their two best assets, Teruel Existe and Soria ¡Ya!, and neither of the two parties is going to manage to enter the Congress of Deputies.

With the scrutiny very advanced in both territories (99% in Teruel and 88% in Soria), the comeback of the two main political assets of emptied Spain seems practically impossible. In this way, the useful vote between the two majority forces is imposed in the most unpopulated areas of Spain, dealing a hard blow to these formations, supported by social movements with deep roots in their provinces.. On that occasion, Teruel Existe obtained 26.65% of the votes, being the first force. Tonight, it would stay at 13.1%, almost 12 points below that record. In fact, at this point in the recount, those of Guitarte would be 1,952 votes away from reaching the deputy.

In Castilian lands, and after the success in the autonomous regions, where Soria ¡Ya! was the party with the most votes in his province, harvesting three parliamentarians out of five at stake, those of Ángel Ceña -who was repeating as a candidate- have also been far behind the PP and PSOE, who will share out the two deputies from Soriano.

Soria ¡Ya!, which premiered in a general election, was the third option with 19% of the votes, compared to 29.5% of the socialists and 37.8% of the popular. With these calculations, Soria Ya! it would be 4,698 votes away from taking the seat from the PSOE.

After this setback, the two political banners of emptied Spain will have to settle for having a presence in the autonomous parliaments of Castilla y León and Aragón. Their commitment to differentiate themselves from the PP and PSOE by displaying a pragmatic strategy in search of investment for their territories has not worked, which opens a gap in the raison d'être of these groups' leap into politics.
