Spain, Vox parade: the Italian left celebrates as if it had lost Meloni

In the elections in Spain, contrary to the expectations of the day before, there was the withdrawal of Vox, the sovereign party that received, among other things, the support of Giorgia Meloni. The popular party is in first place in the polls, but the country is without an absolute majority. Pedro Sánchez’s socialists resisted and now there are several scenarios: center-right government, new elections, maintenance of the status quo. Much will depend on alliances. In short, unlike many European countries, Spain does not turn decisively to the right and that is enough to the left of our house to rejoice and go to the virtual squares to celebrate the Iberian “draw” with and if it were the victory of the World Cup.

“Apparently, the Spaniards are less naive than the Italians. The elections are worse than all the VOX who did not benefit from the screamed rallies of the little Italian sister Giorgia Meloni”, tweeted the journalist Gad Lerner, who went so far as to blame the Italian Prime Minister for the sovereign failure… Piero Fassino of the Pd is more analytical, but the content is this: “In Spain the right does not break. safe. The regionalist parties always opposed by the nationalist right are the arbiters”.

Many relaunch the front pages of Repubblica (“Spain, sovereign failure”) and Stampa (“Sánchez to the right”). The dem mayor of Florence Dario Nardella says: “The real surprise in Spain is Sanchez who everyone already considered defeated. Instead, the right of Vox loses twenty seats and the PSOE can aim for a majority by bringing together the left and the Basque and Catalan parties. From Spain, a beautiful and useful message for Italy and Europe”. Journalist Luca Telese tweets: “Vox loses 19 seats in the elections compared to 2019. Its leader Santiago Abascal cancels planned public appearance”, so the ironic jab with the smile emoticon; “The heart cries for the Patriots so acclaimed by the Brothers of Italy”.
