Juanma Dark has managed to finish the electoral campaign without getting into any puddle and without generating any controversy that has spoiled the good prospects with which he started. In 2018, the PP candidate took 250,000 votes less than the PSOE, the worst result of the popular in Andalusia (750,778 votes, 26 seats), but was supported by citizens Y vox to be sworn in as president. Now, after three and a half years in which he has achieved, he says, that “the right is not scary”, the polls point to him as the clear winner.
He dreams of doubling the number of deputies and obtaining absolute majority (55 seats), although no poll has put that number black on white. He knows that if he does not achieve that milestone, the extreme right will pressure him to enter the Government. “If you just need a vote, if you just need an abstention from Vox, we are not going to give it to you if Vox is not in the Government & rdquor ;, far-right candidate Macarena Olona warned Moreno in the last debate last Monday .
Sources from the PP leadership do not believe the threat and do not accept the comparison with Castilla y León, where Alfonso Fernández manueco had to share power (a vice-presidency and three ministries) with those of Santiago abascal. “The PP of February and March, when it was necessary to negotiate with Vox there, is not the PP of now with Alberto Núñez Feijóo as boss. It has nothing to do with it,” says a member of the Genoa leadership in reference to the internal crisis that shook the party in those months due to the fall of Pablo Casado. Feijóo’s team considers that the ultra formation will end up allowing Moreno to continue presiding over the Board if the PP has more seats than all the leftists together and only a few are missing for his investiture.
Feijóo trusts that an overwhelming victory will help him mark the opening of a new political cycle that will end with him in Moncloa next year
Citizen vote absorption
The acting president assumes that he will be able to add the deputies of Ciudadanos, to whom the private studies of the PP grant up to three seats. The popular ones, as happened in Madrid and Castile and León, they have managed to attract the voters of the orange party, which is in full decomposition. Only in the autonomous elections in Catalonia did the socialists manage to capture that part of the electorate.

The euphoria is unleashed these last few hours in the PP throughout Spain, especially due to the “sinking” that they predict for the PSOE and the impact at the national level that they believe a victory can have overwhelming of the PP in Andalusia. They see their electorate mobilized and Olona, an improvisation that has not worked. “Pedro Sánchez is going to be very scared,” says a senior member of the parliamentary group. “As our party and Vox are close to 70 years old, they have PP there for eight more years,” he adds.
Feijóo trusts that a convincing victory in this community supposes his best presentation letter before the Spanish citizens, who must go first to vote in municipal and autonomous communities, in May 2023, and in general when the President of the Government summons them. He has always said that he will exhaust the legislature, so they are not expected until the end of next year.
Our country needs stable, broad and majority governments. I ask for @JuanMa_Moreno what the Galicians have given me for so long: a large, sufficient and forceful majority. What I want for Galicia, I want for Andalusia and for all of Spain. pic.twitter.com/pmeMiDya5y
