It has lost seven seats in these regional elections and with them the majority, with results in which CC remains the second political force, the PP rises and Vox enters Parliament for the first time, from which United Sí Podemos and Ciudadanos come out.
The fragmented parliamentary panorama, with seven political forces in the Canarian legislative chamber, leaves the pacts open, but in principle the Canarian Coalition is positioned as the axis of a new majority.
CC and PP, who have shared the opposition in this last legislature, would be only one seat away from an absolute majority, but they have two clear options to complete it without the need for Vox, before which the nationalists have drawn a red line in the campaign.
The two options to complete the eventual majority of CC and PP, which are not exclusive, go through the two least populated islands, La Gomera and El Hierro.
One is the Gomera Socialist Group (ASG), led by Casimiro Curbelo, which maintains the three seats with which it propped up the Pact of Flowers. The other option is the Agrupación Herreña Independiente (AHI), a traditional ally of the Canary Islands Coalition, which maintains a seat.
Ángel Víctor Torres’ PSOE, which had 25 seats, loses two and remains at 23. Of the other three partners in the flower pact, only ASG maintains its three seats, but Nueva Canarias drops from five to four and Unidas Sí Podemos loses its four representatives.
The seat that Nueva Canarias loses is especially painful for the party, because it is that of its leader, Román Rodríguez, vice president of the Government in the Pact of Flowers.
It was presented by the autonomous constituency, where nine of the 70 seats are distributed, and none have been for Nueva Canarias: four have been for the PSOE, two for the PP, two for the Canary Islands Coalition and one for Vox.
The main novelty in the plenary hall will be the four deputies from Vox, a party that enters the regional chamber for the first time, with four seats and practically without having carried out an electoral campaign.
The alternative left, which with its different denominations centered around Podemos, has been in the legislative chamber for the last two legislatures, loses its four representatives, weighed down by the division after the appearance of Drago Verdes Canarias, a project created and led by Alberto Rodríguez after his departure from Podemos.
Unidas Sí Podemos and Drago Verdes Canarias share around 3% of the votes each, which leaves both without seats. EFE
