  • Alfonso Rueda advanced the regional elections of Galicia, with an ostensibly favorable panorama for the PP.
  • As the campaign advances, the political winds in Galicia change and apprehensions arise in the PP.
  • The PP remains favorite to revalidate the Government, but a left-wing coalition could gain power.
  • The mood of the Galician electorate has changed substantially, turning an apparent sure win for the PP into an uncertain battle.
  • Ana Pontón, the BNG candidate, has shown enormous strength, attracting sectors that usually do not lean towards nationalism.
  • The PSOE, third placed, has to deal with the image problems of its leader, José Ramón Gómez Besteiro.

Conclusion: The elections in Galicia seem more uncertain than anticipated, with significant changes in voter trends and a potential change of power.
