A total of 54 seats

The European elections in Spain 2019 took place on May 26, 2019 as part of the EU- wide European elections 2019 . The election took place at the same time as the local elections across Spain and the elections to the regional parliaments of 12 Autonomous Communities (i.e. all but Andalusia , the Basque Country , Galicia , Catalonia and Valencia ). In Spain, 54 mandates were initially awarded in the European Parliament , but 59 were elected. 5 elected officials from Spain will move into the European Parliament after the UK has left the EU . There is no explicit threshold clause .

The elections were determined by the still smoldering conflict in Catalonia, particularly hotly contested mayoral elections in some large cities, and by the results of the national parliament elections four weeks earlier .

Electoral system

The European election takes place in Spain after the proportional system in the D'Hondt method . The whole of Spain forms a single constituency, no threshold clause is applied.

In the 2014 European elections , the two people's parties, the conservative Partido Popular (PP) and the social democratic Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) suffered losses. The left parties Izquierda Unida (IU) and the newly founded Podemos as well as the liberal parties Unión Progreso y Democracia (UPyD) and Ciudadanos (C's) were able to gain . In addition, several regional parties - traditionally strong in Spain - moved into the European Parliament via joint lists.

In the Spanish parliamentary elections in 2015 and 2016 , a four-party system formed from the PP, PSOE, the joint list of IU and Podemos and the Ciudadanos. Neither party was able to achieve a majority and coalition negotiations were unsuccessful. In December 2016 a minority government of the PP was formed. One of the dominant political issues in Spain since 2017 has been the Catalonia crisis ; The regional government in Catalonia declared independence in October 2017 after calling a referendum that the Constitutional Court had declared illegal. The Spanish government ousted the regional government from office while the judiciary opened criminal proceedings against leading separatist leaders, including Catalonia's Prime Minister, Carles Puigdemont , who had evaded the threatened trial by fleeing abroad with other personalities; At the same time, new elections for the Catalan regional parliament were scheduled for December 2017, which, however, again led to a narrow majority for the separatist parties in the Catalan parliament.

In May 2018, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy (PP) was withdrawn from parliament as a result of the belt affair and Pedro Sánchez (PSOE) was the new Prime Minister of a minority government with toleration u. a. by the Catalan separatists. After the government no longer received the necessary support in the budget debate, Sanchez called early parliamentary elections for April 28th in March 2019 . In these elections, the PSOE saw a significant increase in votes (but without having a sufficient majority to rule without tolerance for other parties), while the PP suffered a major slump. The right-wing populist Vox also entered parliament for the first time.

Simultaneous local elections play a role in the election campaign, especially in the two major cities of Barcelona, ​​where the previous mayor Ada Colau from the left-alternative platform Barcelona en Comú (which was also supported by the left-populist Podemos) and Madrid, where Mayor Manuela Carmena , originally nominated by Podemos as the top candidate of the Ahora Madrid civic platform, both of which have been running since 2015 in minority government against strong resistance from the bourgeois parties (and in Barcelona also against separatist candidates).

Controversy arose when the fugitive Puigdemont declared that he and the equally fugitive Catalan ex-ministers Toni Comin and Clara Ponsatí would run for election with the Junts per Catalunya (Junts per Europe) party in order to benefit from parliamentary immunity to get; On April 29, 2019, the Spanish electoral commission decided that they could not stand for election due to their stay abroad (and lack of registration of their place of residence). This decision was rejected by the Spanish Supreme Court.
