 firma mínimo

El Partido Popular ha ganado las elecciones autonómicas en Andalucía consiguiendo 53 escaños, logrando un 41 % de los votos con cerca del 98% escrutado. Esta cifra de 53 supone cinco menos que los 58 parlamentarios obtenidos en los comicios de 2022 y le dejan a dos diputados de la mayoría absoluta, fijada en 55 escaños.

Por su parte, el PSOE consigue 28 diputados -dos menos que los 30 obtenidos en las pasadas elecciones autonómicas- y el 23 % de votos y firman su peor resultado histórico. (Fuente: europa press/pp/psoe/adelanta andalucia/vox) Puedes leer la noticia en: https://www.europapress.es/andalucia/...
