  • The government has been slow to incorporate EU directives that increase the transparency of the upcoming elections.
  • There will be confusion among voters since Spanish legislation allows local information on ballot papers instead of the overall coalition.
  • This situation favors the major parties of coalitions and could give false representation in the European Parliament.
  • There's a chance thousands of votes will be cast without voters fully understanding who they are supporting.
  • The issue at stake is not just a legal technicality but the transparency of the system.
  • The EU is a union of States, and electoral ballots must reflect this reality, not false local realities.

Conclusion: Manipulating the reality of candidacies through electoral confusion is a perversion of democracy and the electoral process. Spain still has a pending debt with transparency.
