MADRID, 29 May. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Vox has consolidated this Sunday as the third national party, managing to triple councilors compared to 2019 and being decisive for the formation of government in 18 provincial capitals and six autonomous communities.

Santiago Abascal's party has celebrated the result obtained in the regional and municipal elections with great optimism. "It is the consolidation of the role of Vox as a party that is absolutely necessary to build the alternative -Abascal himself celebrated in an assessment of the results after midnight-. Today there is no doubt that the political project of Vox is consolidated as national project".

For Vox, the only dark spot this Sunday has been Madrid, where it remains in an irrelevant position both in the Community Assembly and in the City Council due to the absolute majorities of Isabel Díaz Ayuso and Javier Ortega-Smith.

The party has achieved representation in all the regional parliaments that were at stake this Sunday and has become decisive for the formation of a government in six of them: Cantabria, Aragon, the Balearic Islands, the Valencian Community, Murcia and Extremadura.

With this result, the only regional parliament in which it does not have representation is that of Galicia, where there were no regional elections this Sunday. In the community, Vox has not achieved a good municipal result either, staying out of practically all municipalities, including the municipalities of the four provincial capitals.

Vox's regional growth has been general except in Madrid, where its candidate, Rocío Monasterio, has been eclipsed by the absolute majority of Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The Madrid Assembly is the only place where Vox has worsened its result, going from 13 seats in 2021 to the ten obtained this Sunday.

On the other hand, in Cantabria it has doubled the result (from two to four) and in Aragón it has gone from three seats in the Cortes to seven, with growth in the three provinces. It has also experienced strong growth in the Balearic Islands, where it has added eight deputies compared to the three it currently had.

Vox will also be decisive for the sum of government with the PP in the Valencian Community; in Murcia, where it has gone from four seats to nine; and in Extremadura, a community in which he broke into the Assembly for the first time with five deputies.

In Castilla-La Mancha, the autonomy in which Abascal has turned this campaign, although he has managed to enter Parliament for the first time with four seats, the result will not be decisive in expelling the socialist Emiliano García-Page. Neither will it be in Asturias, where he goes from two to four seats, nor in the Canary Islands, where he enters for the first time with three deputies.

In the municipal elections, Vox has managed to triple the number of councilors it obtained in 2019, going from 530 to 1,700; and jump from a vote percentage of 3.59% to 7.18%. In total there have been 1.5 million votes, which Abascal has said allows calculating how many they hope to add in the general elections at the end of the year, taking into account that in 2019 they added 800,000 in the municipal elections in May and exceeded 3.6 million six months later in general.

The Vox councilors will also be decisive in numerous municipalities for the formation of governments and, specifically, the PP needs their support for an absolute majority in 18 provincial capitals.

In Andalusia, the PP will have to seek their support to be elected in the first round in Seville, where the result has tripled, in Huelva and in Córdoba. The 'popular' also need your votes in Toledo, Guadalajara and Ciudad Real in Castilla-La Mancha; in Caceres; in Valencia, Castellón and Alicante, the three provinces of the Valencian Community; and in Segovia, Valladolid and Burgos in Castilla y León.

There would also be a majority of PP-Vox in the Oviedo City Council; in those of Huesca and Zaragoza in Aragon; and in the Palma City Council, in the Balearic Islands, where it went from zero seats in 2019 to seven in these elections.

In Catalonia, the Vox councilors do not have alternative majorities, but the party manages to enter the town halls of the four provincial capitals for the first time. In the Catalan community, Vox goes from only three councilors to 124 representatives.

In Madrid it also grows and goes from four to five delegates in the City Council, although the absolute majority of the 'popular' José Luis Martínez Almeida leaves Javier Ortega Smith in an irrelevant position within the Consistory.

Abascal has already warned the Popular Party not to expect "gifts" in the negotiation for the formation of governments and that it will not accept "blackmail" either, guaranteeing its voters that they will "defend" their support. "We are not going to break that promise," she assured.

Vox has said throughout the campaign that its demand for the negotiation would be marked by the polls, claiming to enter the governments in those places where its presence is strongest and being able to request only an investiture pact where the PP is closest to an absolute majority. .
