The PSOE widens its advantage over the Popular Party to almost five percentage points, compared to the 2.5 points that separated both in October, according to the November barometer of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS), which measures for the first time the political consequences of DANAwhich covered entire towns in mud in the province of Valencia, the main victim of the tragedy, and has already left at least 225 fatalities, 219 in the Valencian Community alone.
The field work of the study, carried out between November 2 and 7 based on 4,010 interviews, was carried out after the tragic October 29, the day of the serious floods that opened a schism between the central and regional governments over responsibilities for the late reaction and subsequent management of the disaster.
The pressure on the president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, has been increasing as more details of what happened that day have become known; Just as the role of the third vice president and Minister of Ecological Transition has also been questioned, Teresa Riberadue to the alleged lack of information, or at least that is how the PP interprets it, from the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation, an organization dependent on its department, on the evolution of the flow.
According to this new installment of the CIS, the parties of the coalition Government –both PSOE and Sumar come out reinforced of the DANA. At least that is what the estimate of the CIS vote indicates, that is, the ‘kitchen’ of the public institute chaired by José Félix Tezanos, which does not include the distribution of seats in its barometer. In any case, if general elections were held today in Spain, the socialists would win with 34.2% of support, two tenths above their October result.
The space on the left of the PSOE also grows after the tragedy in Valencia. The ministerial partner of the Executive of Pedro Sánchez, Addwould reach the barrier of 7% of the votes and thus increase its support significantly compared to the October survey (6.3%); while Can it would go from 3.3% to 3.4%, a very slight increase that, however, stops the downward trend of recent months.
On the opposite side, and always according to the CIS of Tezanos, the People’s Party He would now lose almost all of the ballots he won in the public entity’s last survey. Those of Alberto Núñez Feijóo would fall 2.2 percentage points compared to that survey, from 31.5% to the current 29.3%, in a context of growing criticism of the management of the popular Carlos Mazón for his management of the catastrophe. The leader of the PP himself pointed out this Monday, in a clear warning to the regional president, that “there are no more mistakes.”
This November barometer also surveys the opinion of citizens regarding the latest scandals that affect the party for the Koldo case. In the previous October survey, the field work took place before the report from the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard, which revealed the “main role” of former minister José Luis Ábalos in the plot.
According to the CIS, the Koldo case it would hardly have any electoral impactdespite the committed position of the PSOE and a PP to the attack against the alleged corruption that surrounds the Government, also pending the procedure against the wife of President Begoña Gómez.
In his work of frontal opposition against the Executive of Pedro Sánchez, Vox Nor would it see its results improved today compared to October. If then it fell sharply to 11.8%, compared to 13.1% in September, now it remains unchanged, and those of Santiago Abascal would obtain 11.8% of the ballots if general elections were held in Spain.
