The PP's drunken Vox in Aragon has failed: the far-right swollen and the PSOE in decline

Azcon (with 26 out of 67 seats) will depend on the extreme right (14); moreover, Abascal has urged the PP to "change policies." The sum of the two right has gathered 60% of the votes in Aragon. The left, despite the rise of the CHA (6 out of 3 MPs), has confirmed the recession.

Abascal (Vox) y Azcón (PP Aragón) tras los elecciones

Abascal with joy, and Azcon with a bittersweet smile, yesterday, after the election in Aragon.

The picture of this news can well summarize the results in the Aragon elections. The PP candidate, Jorge Azcon , with a warm smile , and the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal , with a sweet air. It should be remembered that the election advance was a bit more drunk with the PP, seeing that he could not agree the 2026 budgets with Vox.

It is a bittersweet victory for the PP. Vox holds the key to governance, because if the far-right abstains, the sum of PSOE, Teruel Existe, IU-Sumar and CHA exceeds the votes of the PP.

That being the case, Azcone's threat to the Spanish Government — "tic tac tic tac, the Sanchisma has done so" — may come against him yesterday. The PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, will meet at noon with the National Board of Directors to discuss the elections in Aragon.

The head of Vox's list, Alejando Nolasco, said today that he is waiting for Azcon's phone call and has been willing to change "socialist policies." He stressed that the PP has been wrong to call early elections and criticized Azcon's "left-wing policies." "We want to change those policies. Then we'll see how we agree everything, whether we reach an agreement or whether they want to compromise with us," he explained.

Abascal spoke along the same lines last night, reaching out to the PP to form a government, but in exchange for "changing policies . "

PSOE, empty

The defeat of the PSOE candidate, Pilar Alegría, who has fallen from 23 to 18 seats, confirms the socialist decline and erodes the profile of Sanchez, who was a minister and spokesperson for the Spanish Government, very close to the president. Since the 2015 elections (in the midst of the rise of Podemos), the PSOE has achieved the worst results in its history.

Chunta Aragonesista (CHA) has somewhere attracted the votes of leftists and doubled the representation (from 3 to 6). If it is true that it is not its best historical result — it had nine deputies in the 2003-2007 legislature — but it has left candidate Jorge Pueyo in a very good position. This has also made a bittersweet assessment: "We are a reference for the left of Aragon, but the far right is stronger than ever."

With the exception of that small victory, yesterday was a bad day for the left. Iz

It has also been a bitter night for the Existe coalition, in which Teruel Existe has lost a seat (3 to 2) and Aragon Existe has not won a deputy.
