The 2011 regional elections in this socialist temple were the closest in history. Just a handful of votes, and one deputy difference, allowed María Dolores de Cospedal to remove the socialists from power. Today she would win by three seats. Next Sunday's European elections will serve to resolve many unknowns and answer some important questions. The two most important, without a doubt, will be to check if the PP is punished for the policies it has carried out in these first two years of government and, secondly, if ERC wins the elections in Catalonia . But, apart from these two, there are other important 'battles'. With half of the legislature consumed, Sunday's elections will serve as a thermometer for the parties to get an idea of what may happen in May 2015. One of those 'battles' is Castilla-La Mancha. The general secretary of the PP, María Dolores de Cospedal , won the 2011 elections by a handful of votes and one seat difference with the PSOE (25 to 24). The socialists ruled for almost thirty years in the La Mancha region and, after several attempts, the PP turned the tables. What would happen now? Well, according to popular sources, the regional government is conducting polls that would give it victory by a greater margin than the one obtained in.
Specifically, according to these polls, carried out on the occasion of the European elections, the PP would obtain two more seats than those obtained two years ago. years and would increase its advantage with the PSOE to three. “We are rising Phone Number List in the polls. Citizens are understanding the effort we are making to reduce the deficit and now we would expand our advantage with the PSOE ,” popular sources assure. Deficit In the ranks of the PP it is remembered that Dolores de Cospedal's management has been very complicated due to the inheritance received from the PSOE. “The La Mancha economy had a deficit of 12% when the PP came to power. We have had to reduce it to 1% in two years of recession,” say sources familiar with these surveys. María Dolores de Cospedal's rival in the region is Emiliano García Page, head of the PSOE. His name was raised a few months ago due to the possibility that he would run for the general secretary of the socialists and challenge Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba and Carme Chacón for the position. In the end he did not do so and the PSOE has recently been punished by the Cuadrifolio case , an alleged case of illegal financing of its party similar to the Gurtel case that affects the PP.The PSOE headquarters is protected by the State Security Forces and Corps.
The party leadership has requested police presence at the doors of its building located on Ferraz Street. A protest by a large group of Delphi workers is expected to take place throughout the day. As PSOE sources have confirmed to El Confidencial Digital, “ the Police arrived at the headquarters early in the morning to guarantee our safety .” It is expected that during the day a group of workers from the Delphi company will come there . They denounce the failure to comply with agreements signed in recent years with the Junta de Andalucía. They have chosen the headquarters of the party at the national level , since the PSOE also governs in the Board, as the place of the protest. The National Police has mounted a spectacular display at the doors of the socialist headquarters on Ferraz Street. Three vans and up to ten agents shield the main façade of the building. After the latest episodes of violence, such as those suffered this Wednesday by Minister Montoro and Alicia Sánchez Camacho in Barcelona, " the tension experienced in Spain is maximum , and the police presence responds to that scenario," they say in the PSOE.
