Conservative PP wins 5th absolute majority in Spain's Galicia region | Video

Santiago de Compostela, Feb 18 (EFE).- The conservative Popular Party (PP) won its fifth consecutive absolute majority in Sunday's Galicia elections, winning 40 of the 75 deputies that make up the parliament of the region of northwest Spain.

With 98 percent of the votes counted, the PP lost two seats in the election compared to 2020, while the left-wing nationalist party BNG won 25 deputies, six more than in the previous legislature.

For their part, the Galician socialists (PSdeG-PSOE) lost five deputies and remained at nine, and Democracia Ourensana, who were running for the first time at the regional level, won one seat.

With these results, the leftist Podemos party, a former partner of the socialists in the coalition government in Spain, was left out of the Galician parliament, as was the leftist Sumar coalition, which was making its debut after its leap to national level in the last general election in July. The far-right Vox also did not find a place in Galicia, not winning any deputies. (Camera: EFE).
