The results of the regional elections held this Sunday in the Basque Country confirmed the “technical link” between the two largest nationalist parties that had been predicted by opinion polls, with the PNV being the party with the most votes, despite electing the same the same deputies (27). like his rivals E. H. Bild. The key to the next government lies in the hands of the Basque Socialists (PSE), who were the third party in terms of votes and are expected to reissue the government pact with the PNV.
With 98.5% of the votes counted, the moderate nationalists of the PNW were in the lead with 35.2%, followed by E.H. Bildu, heir to the disappeared Batasuna, ETA’s political wing, with 32.4% of the vote, their best election result ever. The PSE with 14.2% and 12 deputies is the third largest force in terms of votes, followed by the PP with 9.2% and 7 deputies. Sumar (3.3%) and Vox (2.0%) each elected one MP, while Podemos failed to elect a single MP.
The results would give nationalist forces nearly three-quarters of the seats in the next parliament, increasing pressure on Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, whose government depends on the votes of both, to begin negotiations on a new “territorial framework” for the Basque Country.
