The Socialist Party achieves 30.18% of the vote and 20 of the 61 seats that Spain chooses in the elections to the European Parliament. These are similar results to those obtained in 2019, where it obtained one more seat in the European Parliament, but lost the first position in Spain against the PP.
The candidacy of the minister and third vice president Teresa Ribera has not managed to overcome the MEP Dolors Monserrat. The popular have grouped the 34.18% of the Spanish vote and 22 seatss in the European Parliament. Finally The PP does not “destroy” the socialist formation, but it does climb positions and increase its seats by 9. At community level, it seems that it will be the EPP that will emerge victorious: the polls give it 186 seats.
A few minutes before the polls closed, the first polls gave a two-point advantage for the PP over the PSOE. The ‘popular’ then accumulated 32.4% of the vote and between 21 and 23 seats in the European Parliament, an increase of up to ten points compared to 2019; compared to the 20-22 seats (30.2) that the socialists kept, without losing seats.

During the campaign, polls such as those by Sigma Dos for The world They gave between 21 and 23 seats for the PP and reduced the Socialists to 19; while GAD3 for ABC They increased the distance: 23-24 for Monserrat and 20 for the PSOE. The comeback has been limited finally and has not managed to maintain the first position facing the Europeans. The decline of the Social Democrats extends to the European Parliament: the parliamentary group would lose four seats compared to 2019.
The results of Sigma Dos for RTVE gave the closure of the schools a third position for Voxthat doubled its seats, from 3 to 6-7 (10.4% of the vote). Sumar would remain behind, which would obtain up to 4 MEPs in its first elections. Now Repúblicas would maintain 3 seats and Junts EU would lose one. Coalition for a Solidarity Europe (PNV and Canarian Coalition) maintained its seat in the European Parliament in the polls, where Alvsie’s party, Se Acabó La Fiesta, broke in, with 2-3 seats.
These positions have remained practically exact: the far-right formation has achieved 6 seats in Europe and the independence parties, three seats, as have Sumar and Se Acabó La Fiesta, both in their first European elections. Meanwhile, Junts and CEUS have been left with one seat.
Teresa Ribera has stated that the result of the PP was due to the fact that “has absorbed all the Ciudadanos deputies. He has not won anything else, but the assumption of an extreme right political discourse has not weakened the options of the extreme right. “That’s not good news.” And he added that far right now has three faces in Spain: those of Feijóo, Abascal and Alvise. “With 30% of the votes, we are the only party that, being in a government, has obtained the best electoral result. The PSOE remains at the same point as a year ago,” he concluded.
