Editorial: La Vanguardia

• The PNV won the elections by a narrow margin, tying in deputies with EH Bildu, thus confirming the declining trend of the PNV and the upward trend of EH Bildu.
• Both parties sum more than two thirds of the seats in the Basque Parliament, while support for independence is at its lowest.
• The PSE and PP won deputies, and the socialists hold the key to governability.
• The consequences of the election should not greatly affect the Spanish political sphere, even if the PNV reedits its coalition with the PSE.
• Day-to-day problems such as public health and housing access were the center of the campaign debates.

Conclusion: The PNV will have to correct its policies after some criticism. Its decline could allow EH Bildu to increase its progression in the next elections.
