This Sunday, May 17, 2026, the people of Andalusia will decide the future of the regional government. Juanma Moreno (PP) has called early elections and hopes to retain power, but final polls place him just shy of an absolute majority (55 seats).
Vox consolidates its space with an unapologetic discourse, the PSOE records its worst historical result and Alvise Pérez’s Se Acabó la Fiesta (SALF) bursts onto the scene as a fragmenting factor.
Vox: patriotic consistency and defense of what is ours
Vox, led by Manuel Gavira, presents itself as the clearest and most courageous option on the right. Its core proposals, supported by the 14-17 seats it is projected to win according to polls, include:
- National priority in housing, social assistance and employment for Spaniards.
- A determined fight against illegal immigration and insecurity in neighborhoods.
- Defending the countryside, hunting, bullfighting and the primary sector against the impositions of Brussels.
- I reject radical feminism, ideological laws, and the squandering of public resources.
- Tax cuts and a reduction in the administrative apparatus.
Vox demands that any support for the PP be contingent upon implementing “common sense” measures such as prioritizing the national interest. It refuses to be merely a decorative crutch.
PP: aiming for an absolute majority… but without ties to the right
Juanma Moreno leads the polls with 42-43% of the vote and between 52 and 57 seats. However, an absolute majority (55 seats) is hanging by a thread, according to several final surveys. Moreno has been emphatic: “I have no interest in governing with Vox.” He prefers a single-party government or even a minority government to agreements with the right wing. His administration has brought stability and economic growth, but also a continuation of some patronage networks without completely dismantling the socialist legacy.
PSOE: sunk in its worst historical result
María Jesús Montero’s PSOE is projected to garner around 21-23% of the vote and 26-29 seats. After decades of governments that left behind structural unemployment, rural depopulation, and dependence on subsidies, the Socialists are offering more of the same: public spending, alliances with the far left, and playing the victim. Andalusia wants to prosper, not return to the past.
The Party’s Over: The anti-establishment movement that is splitting the right-wing vote
SALF, led by Alvise Pérez, is making a strong showing in the polls (6-9%, potentially winning several seats). It proposes disruptive measures such as privatizing Canal Sur (saving over €160 million annually) and eliminating inheritance taxes.
His rhetoric against corruption, subsidized media, and the establishment appeals to the disillusioned, although Alvise canceled part of his public schedule in May. Vox warns that he is taking votes away from the right; others see him as a mouthpiece for discontent. The candidate for President of the Regional Government is Adrián Yacar.
Time for truth: Andalusia decides
May 17th involves choosing between:
- Moderate continuity of the PP (with risk of lukewarmness).
- Socialist setback for the PSOE.
- Patriotic consistency of Vox.
- SALF’s anti-system disruption.
Andalusia deserves governments that lower taxes, guarantee security, defend its identity, and prioritize its citizens. The wasteful spending spree driven by ideology must truly end.
Andalusians, to the polls. The future is decided this Sunday.
