For Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's PSOE, there was the loss of one seat - down to 20 - while the split further to the left led to Podemos losing four seats (down to two) and Yolanda Díaz's Sumar entering the European Parliament with three seats.
Also with three are Se Acabó la Fiesta (The Party is Over), a group led by Alvise Pérez, who once worked for Ciudadanos. The Cs were wiped out, losing all eight of their seats.
For the Balearics, Rosa Estaràs, who was seventh on the PP's national list of candidates, will be a member of the European Parliament for the fourth time. The PP secured 35.8% of the Balearic vote, an increase of 14.6%. PSOE lost nearly 30,000 votes compared with 2019. Vox rose to 11.2% of the vote and Se Acabó la Fiesta achieved 5.35%.

James WalkerWell at least I don't use terms like 'marxism' and 'communism' without actually knowing what they mean. I've lived under a communist government, have you? And it's hilarious you call me brainwashed when most of your views come from tik tock and YouTube videos, probably sponsored but Putin. Try reading some books, or is doing 'research' a 2 minute tik tok video?
@ Zoltan, you cry like a baby. Attacking anything or anyone that doesn't agree with you mentally brainwashed agenda. It might be a Conservative government in power in Britain but they certainly don't hold conservative views, that's exactly why they are going down the shit pan. And Reform are preforming. I'm not sure what this article has to do with British politics either?
I don't subscribe to either "right" or "left". Historically, neither side has been surprisingly successful at attacking and solving "problems", but some have made gains in some areas, and made big mistakes in others. That's actually quite normal. From my point of view, these "problems" are too oft misguided in the interest of political gain, rather than "solutions". Take the immigration debate for example; Yes, there's definitely flaws in immigration (everywhere) but the solutions they take are too often rooted in whatever will get them votes rather than tackling the downside aspects of immigration. In the UK, they intend to "solve" it by sending "boat people" to Rwanda. That's nice, though it won't impact "immigration" at all; The vast majority of illegal immigrants (in the millions) arrive perfectly legally, on a plane. They just never leave. The "boat people" are numbered in the thousands. But it sounds good to voters. Yet I suspect the government knows very well that immigration is a very necessary part of the UK's economy, so just enacting a distraction will keep voters on their side (or not). And here, we have this "over tourism" debate, blaming everything from high rents and house and consumer prices to not being able to go to the beach on "tourism" (ironically, protests taking place on otherwise empty beaches, which isn't a great optic). Surely there are "saturated" areas that need some action, but it's seasonal and regional. And tourism is an important part of the overall GDP here. Any "solution" needs to consider that. Yet the protesters are (unwittingly) demanding blunt instruments which effectively hand it all over the the big hotel chains, statistically the major attractors of the very tourism they despise, and preside over the most saturated and overcrowded regions. Brilliant. It's not a left or right thing. It's complicated, and no government (right or left) will ever be able to find the perfect solution. I do have to say, that of the two, the right seems to engage in the most bullshit. But don't take that as a vote for the left. The left can also can go off the rails. Just tell me the truth - backed up by [verifiable] facts, exhibit that you've thought through it, offer sensible (not radical) proposals on how to deal with it, and set expectations appropriately (don't tell me you'll solve it next week with the wave of a political magic wand), and you'll get my vote, no matter what side of the fence you're on. I don't expect miracles.
James WalkerYeah we need a good right wing 'common sense' government like in the UK. How's that working out?
The headline should read Spain moves to common sense. We should eradicate this toxic socialist agenda boardering on Communism/Marxism it's a sick cult. And a minority who just shout the loudest
About time we started to reduce the influence of the socialists as the country goes increasingly downwards for a variety of reasons, tourism being at the top of the list of the sectors that need to be remodelled
