Alvise triumphs in municipalities with fewer women and more young people

Se Acabó La Fiesta (SALF) today celebrates the three deputies won in these European elections of 9-J, its first appearance in an election in Spain. The platform of the social media agitator Alvise Pérez has garnered at least one vote in 7,071 municipalities of the 8,132 in the country.

The translation of this support is 800,763 ballots distributed throughout almost the entire Spanish geography (with less acceptance in Galicia, the Basque Country and Catalonia). A figure that leaves the electoral group just 11,000 votes away from Sumar and places it above Podemos.

There are 15 municipalities in which Alvise’s people have taken at least a fifth of the votes (more than 20%). None in Seville, the province from which he is a native. And there are two in which it reaches 40%. These are Pozanco (Ávila) and Chequilla (Guadalajara). Between the two they do not add up to 100 inhabitants. In the first case the PP wins narrowly (42.9%) and in the second they tie with four votes.

But it is not precisely in the places with the smallest population where SALF takes the cake.

With almost 5% of the votes throughout Spain and without being the party with the most votes alone in any municipality, the formation born from social networks has obtained a higher percentage of the vote in larger territories. Almost 40% of all its voters reside in cities with between 100,000 and one million inhabitants.

And except for Barcelona, ​​where it remains at 2% of the voting percentage, it exceeds 4% on average in municipalities with more than 5,000 inhabitants.

They are medium to large environments, on average, with fewer women.

The CIS, in its last publication, stated that among those who considered that SALF was the party that was putting forward proposals of most interest for Spain to negotiate in the European Parliament, 5.5% were men and 2.2% were women. Alvise’s party had more acceptance in this case among people between 18 and 24 years old (9.2%) and between 25 and 34 years old (8.3%). And it was going to be, as the survey predicted, the party with the most votes by 6.1% of men and 2.5% of women; a percentage above 9% among young people between 18 and 34 years old. And only behind PSOE, PP and Vox.

The results indicate that SALF, whose leader is a 34-year-old Sevillian, has achieved a higher percentage of the vote in places with a lower average age.

Although among the 233 municipalities in which it has exceeded 10%, only 41 remain below the 44 years on average. The rest, those with more than a tenth of the votes and who are also above the average age, represent 2.3% of the total.

Not in vain, and in relation to the breeding ground of this movement, which has been cooked in the heat of social networks, young people are the largest users of these platforms. According to INE data, the most active are students (94.4%) and young people between 16 and 24 years old (92.6%). Those from 25 to 34 are 83.4% and the figure is reducing to 28.9% of those from 65 to 74 years old.

In terms of income, the municipalities in which the highest percentage of votes have been accumulated are on average somewhat above the national average. Of 230 municipalities with more than 10% of the votes for SALF, a hundred average less than 14,081 euros – the national average – and the other 56% are above.

Alvise, who in his celebration on election night was accompanied by ‘little Nicolás’ in a nightclub in the Chamberí neighborhood in Madrid, transfers his platform to the Strasbourg Parliament with his three MEPs, out of the 61 total. And he says that he and his people will donate “100% of the public salary.”
