The official inauguration of the election campaign in Castile and León (CyL) took place at midnight on February 27, uniting leaders of all parties in the traditional act of putting up posters. These elections, taking place in Spain's largest region by area, are crucial for the stability of the national political scene. The main political forces – the People's Party (PP) and the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) – are fighting for dominance in a region that has been a bastion of the center-right for decades. The situation is tense, however, as forecasts indicate the PP may once again need the support of the right-wing party Vox to form a government.The parliamentary system in Spain's autonomous communities stems from the provisions of the 1978 Constitution, which initiated the process of state decentralization after General Franco's dictatorship.The current regional president, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, is campaigning under the slogan "Certainty Here," emphasizing the stability of his government and distancing himself from political extremes. Meanwhile, the opposition leader, Carlos Martínez, the mayor of Soria representing PSOE, is calling for change after 40 years of PP rule, calling his offer the "revolution of the humble." The debate focuses on demographic problems, the depopulation of rural areas, and the state of the public health service, which has become the flashpoint for conflict over the construction of a hospital in Palencia. The situation is complicated by the successes of regional parties, such as Soria ¡YA!, Union del Pueblo Leonés (UPL), and Por Ávila. UPL hopes to win five seats, which would allow it to form its own parliamentary group and more strongly emphasize the autonomous aspirations of the León region. Concurrently with events in Castile, in other parts of the country, such as Andalusia and Extremadura, internal party friction and disputes over succession after left-wing leaders are ongoing, casting a shadow on the coherence of the socialists' nationwide message. „Votar a los mismos los últimos 43 años no ha servido para nada por lo que ha pedido apostar por otra vía pegada al territorio.” (Voting for the same people for the last 43 years has achieved nothing, which is why he has called for betting on another path close to the territory.) — Ángel CeñaThe final election result in Castile will be a test for the national PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, in the context of his ability to build stable coalitions without completely yielding to the demands of the Vox party, with which relations in Extremadura and Aragon remain deadlocked.
