A new political scenario in Barcelona
The last surveys have left together in a committed situation, demonstrating a worrying decrease that could mark a significant change in the Barcelona election scene. Xavier Trias’s recent resignation has left a difficult vacuum to fill, directly affecting the image of the party and his ability to mobilize voters.
The PSC reinforced and together downhill
A poll made by Electomania has revealed that the PSC could obtain 25% of the vote, consolidating itself as the dominant force in the city. In contrast, together, led by Jordi Martí, it is expected to lose up to three councilors, standing in a worrying 18.5%. This fall represents a hard blow for a party that has tried to deal with the crisis of the process with ineffective strategies.
Impact of the Loss of Trias
The figure of Trias has been a fundamental pillar for Together, with his popularity playing a key role in the previous election victories. Its absence has left the party in a vulnerable situation, with a loss of credibility that has been reflected in the surveys.
ERC and other competitors
The results also indicate a decrease in the support of ERC, which would be reduced to four councilors, pairing with the PP in a situation of technical tie. This would show the fragility of republican support in the city, at a time when the Socialists seem to gain ground.
Future perspectives
With the autonomous elections of 2028 on the horizon, the current situation of Together represents a great challenge for its national strategy. The consolidation of the PSC and its ability to attract new voters could radically change the course of Catalan politics, leaving together in a defensive position.
Reactions to the current situation
The reaction within the PSC is optimism, with Collboni leading a project that could lead to a political hegemony in Catalonia. His victory in Barcelona opens the door to eventual consolidation at the regional level, which could be a great reverse for together and other competitory parties.
