The CUP has not reached the goal of returning to Barcelona’s town halldespite the fact that he has surpassed in support valentines and Cs, two parties that had councilors in the council so far. The anti-capitalists have collected 3.80% of the votes, 1.20 points away from the 5% threshold to enter the municipal plenary session.
The CUP reaps its best record in Funny, his usual stronghold in the city and the only one where he exceeds the minimum percentage required to ensure representation. It is a consolation that does not translate into any act to occupy seats in plenary. In addition, the brand is only discreet: it exceeds 6% of the votes, nailed to four years ago, and stands as the fifth force in Gràcia.
The CUP candidate, Basha Changue, has touched 5% in Old Town and Sants-Montjuïc. The leftists remain with 4% of the endorsements in Horta-Guinardó and Sant Andreu, while caressing him in Sant Marti and falls below the same percentage in the Eixample.
The cuperos plummet below 3% in Les Corts and in Nou Barris. The worst result of 28M in the capital is recorded in Sarria-Sant Gervasiwhere he amassed less than 2% of the votes.

Changue is a deputy in the Parliament.After accessing with three councilors in 2015 to the city council and left without any in 2019, the anti-capitalists appealed during the campaign to the common to decide if they would prefer to renew the coalition with the socialists Or they would opt for the CUP as an ally in the new mandate.
