Heavy terr act in Madrid II

[Bereta_Eder]

i provided a breef explanation

[germanos]

At the Spanish Civ-site (hosted on Apolython) they keep track of the election results in the 'Atocha- parte II' thread.

allthough the language might be difficult to comprehend, the numbers won't

It seems the PSOE (socialists) are taking the lead over the Partido Popular (conservatives and currently forming the government) by 160 to 140 seats. (If I understand correctly, 176 seats gives a majority in parliament)

[edit] corrected number for majority seats. (to avoid confusion) [/edit]

At 61% of votes

PSOE -> 165 seats
PP -> 144 seats

(Majority is 176)

Oh , good.

Now, could you please explain all the abbreviations of the varios 'other' parties, and possily tell us what kind of coalition is to be expected (assuming that neither of the two 'biggies' get an absolute majority)?

AVANTI POPOLO
PANTIERA ROSSA
EVIVA SOCIALISMO ET LA LIBERTA!

(sorry couldn't resist )

from Reuters:

MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's opposition Socialist party claimed victory in Sunday's general elections after official results showed them leading the ruling Popular Party 43 to 37 percent with 77 percent of the vote counted.

It is done then.


MY WARM CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SOCIALISTS may they have more wisdom than their predecessors.
My congratulations to the people of Spain too.

Do you feel comfortable having been successfully manipulated by al-Qaeda? Maybe they'll remember this the next time they want something.

This just in:

The following is a PM I recieved from Fez/Giancarlo

My country has made a big mistake. The victory of the PSOE highlights this and I will be renouncing my passport in due course aswell as my dual citizenship. I feel that I have lost faith in my country and the people have handed the terrorists a victory. Tis a truly a sad day in the history of my country. After this whole issue, I will not be returning to apolyton as I am exhausted.

[Dr. Nick]

Since reading that PM, I guess ALL Spaniards at least have a double reason to celebrate today.
