Pedro Sánchez played the last card he had left in the municipal and regional elections. The president of the government made it known that at mid-morning he would give a message from the Moncloa Palace.

"I have made this decision in view of yesterday's results," he said. The move didn't go wrong. The PSOE took in that electoral advance almost 7.5 million votes. In second place, the PP reaped less than 4.5million votes.
