The Catalan elections are a mess.
First, Arrimadas says she has won of it.
Puigdemont, too.
"El País"(daily) that "Ciudadanos" has stopped the independence.
And later... That they didn't.
So... whats happened here?
Who or what won?
Has it done fairly?
And... The most important:
Where is the journalism?
Well, let's start from the beginning: The context.
The objective of the elections, is (through a democratic process)
set up a parliament that will form a government.
that will have the responsibility to legislate during this democratic stage.
buuuuut, this isn't the case of the Catalan elections of 2017.
these were called by the Spanish government as a result of the declaration and approval
of the independence of Catalonia in October 2017.
Logically all Catalan political parties have a position on it.
Those who are in favor of declared independence or that it can be voted,
those who are against the independence and that it can be voted..
[Whisper: Tss! Against that you can vote it without the permission of Spain.]
[That is, only if there's a majority of pro referendum parties on the general elections.]
[That...]
[...does not look like it's going to happen... Soon...]
[Let's continue.]
... And those who are equidistant about independence but they are
in favor of trying to reach a referendum agreed by which Catalonia would can decide.
Thus, in the Catalan elections there's three ideology blocks.
The "Yes" block , "No" and of equidistance.
The way in which the votes are distributed within these blocks does not mean they
have less or more relevance.
[Whisper: Relationship between votes and seats aside, I will talk about it later.]
If, for example, ERC and JxCat had been presented at the same list like they did in 2015,
They would have been the most voted parties and with more seats.
So, they would have been winners of the elections.
But...
Would it have changed anything?
Do you undesrstand now?
This is also about parties.
But before is about ideology blocks.
About the position of people.
This, with such close results to 50% stake, still creates more confusion.
Since in the elections, there is some discordance between votes and the representation that is adopted
into parlamentary seats.
This, unless you're willing to accept that your electoral system affects drastically
to the participation is always so.
Just that sometimes benefits the bigger parties and other the smaller.
For you to understand better how it works in Spain...
[Whisper: Because contrary of it's said, it's not a Catalan law.]
... I've put in the description two videos that
explains it very well.
So, aside the legitimacy (or not), it's a fact; The elections are not designed for concrete decisions.
And, yes.
In this case, the pro independence parties got the absolute majority of parliament.
But...
What about the votes?
The "Yes" block has been the most voted.
With a 47.4% of votes.
The "No" block, the second most voted with 43.4%.
And the equidistant block, the 7.4%.
All this with almost 82% of the participation.
The most high of the history in Catalonia.
Also it's said that the independence has lost support.
This is not true.
In fact, it has voted by more people than ever.
What happens is that, voting more people, have obtained a percentage of the total
0.4% lower than in the 2015 elections.
But ...
So...
Who has won?
Having three political ideologies blocks, It's some complicated to state that any
of them won or lost having less 50% of the votes.
Since it's not a question with a binary answer of "Yes" or "No". Conclusion?
While the independence needs a 2.6% to get the 50%,
there are more than 50% of votes to pro self-determination referendum parties.
So, who wins?
What is clear is that Catalonia asks a different response.
A political solution.
[Whisper: Hey, you ... The video is over and that.. But...]
[ If you want to take advantage and share it with someone who has not been heard very well
[to help to inform and all that... Well ...]
[You would be a cool citizen.]
[A "Chachi"(nice) citizen.]
[Oh, and remember: See you in the next video!]
