Technical tie to eleven councilors with just about 3,500 votes difference between the PSOE and Canarian Coalition in the elections to the Council of Tenerife. Peter Martin wins, but mathematics does not give him to govern. The socialist candidate to be elected as president of the Island Corporation was the most voted this Sunday and, therefore, will be invested again, as established by the Organic Law of the General Electoral Regime. but youhe would succeed only for the moment and it could happen that the pact policy of the next few days would evict him from office. ANDa accessed it in 2019 through the formula of the motion of censure. A matter of pure arithmetic would now return the ball against the Socialists and provided that the hypothetical alliance between the Canary Islands Coalition and the PP occurs.
Second force. The nationalists remain as the second force with the leadership of Rosa Davila instead of Carlos Alonso. They remain just one step below the Socialists and ahead of a rising Popular Party that holds the key to governance. VOX breaks almost all forecasts after yesterday’s elections with its entry into the institution. There will be two advisors from the far-right green party, which opens a new political horizon in the next four years.
The abyss. To the left of the PSOE, the abyss, at least at the insular level. From the three directors four years ago to none now. The division took its toll with more than 30,000 votes between United Sí Podemos and Drago Verdes Canarias thrown in the trashto. The result of Ciudadanos was also disastrous. Not even the refounding of last January or the double win by Enrique Arriaga, who was also a candidate in the capital, Santa Cruz, were of no use. From hinge four years ago with two advisers to the most absolute collapse. The most probable path is that of disappearance, taking into account the (terrifying) results in the rest of the Canary Islands and in the state. Contrary to what happened in 2019, the sum of two political forces and not three will suffice to govern in the island council. So there were two de jure (PSOE with 11 elected councilors and Ciudadanos with two) but three de facto due to the essential external support for the motion of no confidence in June against the former president-elect Carlos Alonso of the three councilors of Sí Podemos Canarias. Thus until the absolute majority of 16. The nationalist Rosa Dávila spent a good part of the night touching with her hands her great aspiration to be the first woman president of the Cabildo de Tenerife in its 110-year history. Until well into the count, he obtained a slight advantage in votes compared to the socialist and until now president Pedro Martín. Martin. In the end, this prevailed with 95% counted with 107,621 votes, 28.68% of the votes, compared to 103,114, 27.48% of the nationalist. Compared to four years ago, both parties dropped both in total number of benches and in percentage. Then CC won with 115,489 votes and 31.12%. The PSOE was then second with figures of 113,844 and 30.68%, respectively.
Allies failed. Peter Martin He resisted relatively well but his allies failed him in the current term (2019-2023) They did not get representation. United Yes We Can weakened by the division of the left and the irruption of Drago Verdes Canarias. 17,052 votes, 4.54%. In 2019 there were 35,059 and 9.45%. The Ciudadanos thing was predictable, but the failure of the oranges can only have one qualifier: resounding. Even Pacma tripled the support of the one led by Enrique Arriaga. This added 2,981 votes at the time of the closing of the edition by the 7,390 of the animalists. The oranges accumulated just 0.23% of the total. Four years ago they received 23,427 ballots, 6.31% of the total.
VOX on the rise. Ana Mercedes Salazar and Naím Yánez make history to be the first two members of VOX to become councilors in the Cabildo de Tenerife. With 95% counted, the Greens obtained 26,570 votes, which makes them the fourth insular force with just over 7% of the total. Predictably, the CC-PP pact will take away a good part of the possible role that they would have acquired with another distribution.
The ‘key’ is held by the PP. The results obtained by the Partido Popular must be described as excellent. Again led by Lope Afonso who resigned with the previous mandate already started. He now has seven advisors, three more than he had. With 75,310 votes, being the third force and 20.07% of the total. In 2019 they were supported by 46,866 Tenerife residents who gave them 12.63% of the total. It holds the key to insular governance. Logic says that in alliance with CC, but you never know. You have to wait for the next few days.
