The electoral campaign for the European elections has been painful, at a very low level, and will be finished off with a historic abstention in the elections, according to experts in demoscopy. The expected abstention, which can reach 60%, constitutes an amendment to the entire major parties, PP and PSOE, and in general to the political class. The surveys confirm that the electorate has waited for the moment of voting to arrive to punish PP and PSOE, two government parties, as 'responsible' for the crisis in its gestation, its prolongation and its poor treatment. The voters ' forgiveness of the PP is minimal , and only now, thanks to the economic improvement data that is being observed in the country. These are the analyzes carried out for El Confidencial Digital by one of the three major demographic consultancies in Spain. Cold and calculated campaign The profiles of the campaign for the European elections , according to this analysis, can be summarized in these conclusions - PP and PSOE have carried out a cold and calculated campaign , settling domestic accounts but avoiding corruption, as a central issue, because it affects both parties. -The only live debate has been the so-called " machismo " of the candidate Cañete , which demonstrates the low level that the campaign has reached. But the PSOE's insistence on machismo, which has occupied five days of the campaign, has turned out to be counterproductive for the party itself, because the voters have ended up bored with this crude fight.
-The claim of the PSOE candidate , Valenciano , that women, who are half of the electorate, do not vote for the PP because it is sexist, borders on the surreal. Assumable punishment - PP and PSOE have internalized and share a level of punishment Phone Number List that they consider 'affordable' , in view of what happened with corruption, non-compliance with electoral promises and management incompetence. -The enormous abstention that is looming is the result of citizens' disinterest in Europe and politicians. Polls reveal great disappointment with Europe . They perceive Brussels as a bureaucracy, very expensive and very well paid, close to the financial powers and multinationals, from where money used to come and now only cuts and taxes come. - Beneath the abstention there is also great discouragement due to the economic crisis and despair in the face of very high unemployment. The revelation -“ We can” is the revelation of this campaign. It can reach two seats, with practically no apparatus, no militants, no money. Only the television relevance of the candidate Pablo Iglesias , son of 15-M, has achieved the miracle. Televisions can still win over social networks as an enhancer of new parties. - Izquierda Unida and UPyD appear lost: they have not managed to get their message across. Although they increase significantly in votes thanks to the disillusionment of PP and PSOE voters, and improve in number of seats , they do not threaten the big parties at all.
The possible strong rise of ERC in Catalonia becomes a very serious threat for CiU and its political leadership. With success in the European elections, the Republicans can corner Artur Mas and direct the entire sovereignty process.The attack on Montoro and Sánchez-Camacho in Vilanova i la Geltrú was the last of fifteen attacks suffered by PP leaders in Catalonia since the electoral campaign began. The party has identified twenty 'liberated' ones, who have been in all the escraches that the popular people have suffered in the region. As sources from the regional leadership of the PP explain to El Confidencial Digital , in the last two weeks, the party representatives who have participated in rallies for the European elections have suffered “ unprecedented persecution” by a violent group , which has followed the popular in various parts of Catalonia. From the PP they speak of “about twenty freed people” who “have the sole mission of boycotting each campaign event.” The individuals who have staged protests against the party in the last 15 days “ carry esteladas, CNT flags, posters of the Platform for People Affected by Mortgages and also posters in favor of the rapprochement of ETA prisoners.” All of them “know perfectly well in which town we are going to hold a rally.” Their 'modus operandi' is simple: they mobilize more colleagues and get in touch with the local “ Casals Independentistas ” (small associations) to prepare the escrache.
