SPAIN / By Cruz Ramiro

The Popular Party has ensured that Alberto Núñez Feijóo could aspire to 172 votes in favor of his investiture as Prime Minister, if the progress of the foreign vote count is confirmed, which would give the popular one more seat for Madrid, according to sources from the game.

Precisely the PSOE has given up a key seat in Madrid this Friday, as confirmed by socialist sources, despite the fact that the official count will not be known until this Saturday.

The same sources have stressed that the PP also maintains an absolute majority in the Senate and recall that the acting president, Pedro Sánchez, could only add more than Feijóo if he obtains the 'yes' of ERC, PNV, EH Bildu, BNG and Junts “without exception”.

“Pedro Sánchez wants to unite all the nationalist and pro-independence parties to help him become president despite being 16 seats behind Feijóo and having 330,000 fewer votes,” they stressed.. Thus, the popular ones have recalled that Felipe González did not try to form a government in 1996, despite remaining fewer votes behind José María Aznar than Sánchez de Feijóo.

“The Bildu u opposition. Independence or change. Only Sánchez would respond to this dilemma in the indecent way in which he is contemplating it,” the PP pointed out.. Thus, the formation has indicated that they have won the elections and that it is Feijóo who is responsible for forming the Government in accordance with “the 45 years of democratic tradition” of Spain.
