An analysis of the result of the 2024 European elections in Spain

The importance of supporting a clear project that is defended with coherence

Yesterday the European elections were held and their result in Spain is already giving rise to many comments in the media and social networks.

A vote for Vox for principles and coherence

I do not intend to do a journalistic analysis here, because I am not a journalist, nor to pretend objectivity or impartiality, because this is a space for opinion and I have very clear convictions that I have been defending for almost 20 years on this blog. Some convictions that make me a very predictable person, especially for those of you who have been reading me on this site for the longest time.

Yesterday, in the European elections, I voted for Vox for the same reason I write here every day: to defend my convictions. In January Vox turned 10 years old. In this time I have not voted for another party, because Vox is the one that best defends my ideas. But above all, I continue to vote for Vox because it demonstrates consistency with those principles it defends. A coherence that has been demonstrated in different areas, also in the European institutions.

The PP allies itself with the socialists after the elections

I wonder: how many Spaniards can say about the party they vote for that in ten years they have never felt disappointed by it? How many can say that their vote has served what they expected? Let's do a brief review. After spending the entire campaign asking for a vote against Sánchez, yesterday the Popular Party won the European elections in Spain. The official results were known at 23:00 CET. That same night, the European People's Party offered a new alliance to the socialists and the center-left group Renew Europe, to obtain the re-election of Ursula von der Leyen as president of the European Comission. The socialists have already shown themselves in favor of repeating this "grand coalition".

You didn't have to be a fortune teller to know that this would happen: I already warned it here on Friday, based on the statements of a leader of the CDU, Von der Leyen's party. Thus, the Popular Party has not taken 24 hours to laugh at its voters, using votes obtained to oppose Sánchez to ally with the socialist group to which the PSOE belongs, Sánchez's party. Of course, forget that this coalition is going to put a stop to Sánchez's coup against the rule of law in Spain. Von der Leyen needs the support of the socialists, she governs with them and that is why she has not made a single reproach to Sánchez since he announced his amnesty law. How many PP voters will feel regretful when they see how they have been deceived?

The PSOE and its sectarianism with political corruption

As for the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez has used these elections to try to silence the corruption scandals that affect him and his party, launching a conspiracy theory that attributed these scandals to a plot by the opposition. , free media and Justice. Sánchez came to power in 2018 crying out against political corruption and is now immersed in it.

Despite this, this Sunday the PSOE managed to overcome the barrier of 30% of the votes, placing it four points below the PP. That is to say, many socialist voters only care about the corruption of their rivals. When it is the Socialist Party that is immersed in cases of corruption (as already happened during the mandate of Felipe González), they do not care. The PSOE is a party that behaves like a sect, in which its leaders must always be supported no matter what they do, because being socialists excuses all the evil they do. Was this the idea they had of regenerating the institutions? Is this how they intend to dignify our democracy?

The case of the group of voters 'Se acabó la fiesta'

Thirdly, yesterday the group of voters "Se acabó la fiesta" (SALF, The party is over), headed by Alvise Pérez, achieved 3 seats. It is surprising to see that a political formation created shortly before the elections, which has barely organized rallies and which did not even present an electoral program has received this unexpected support, which has certainly been able to detract votes from Vox and to the PP.

Now the question is: what do SALF voters expect from the option they have voted for? TSupporting a candidate that does not present a program or ideology is like giving a blank check to the people you vote for.It's hard to imagine a more clumsy way to cast a supposed protest vote. Obviously, as there is no program, now they will not be able to claim anything from the people they have voted for if they suddenly decide to do whatever they want with the votes they have been entrusted with.

Vox has a clear project that is worth defending

Seeing this panorama, I can only say that I may or may not be wrong in my convictions, but I have voted for my principles for a party that has a very clear project, a project that Vox has been defending since a decade ago saying the same thing everywhere. A project that Vox defends coherently, demanding exemplary leadership from its public officials and acting with a sense of ethics and commitment to its voters.

I am surprised that there are Vox voters who renounce this for a candidacy without a political project or for a PP that makes an agreement with the socialists, but that's up to them. If the party led by Abascal has consolidated and continues to grow - yesterday it was the third most voted party in Spain -, despite all the campaigns against it, it is because Vox has a clear project that is worth defending, and should not give in to the vacuum of ideas that other options exhibit. As long as Vox continues down this path, many Spaniards will continue to support it as we did yesterday, and as some of us have been doing for ten years now. Today it is clearer than ever that we only have Vox left.
