A "half-victory" for the ex-juíza that, just a difference of the PP candidate, need now to try to form a coalition of the left, possibly with the Socialists of the PSOE, in order to obtain a majority in the city.

A result relativized by conservative party currently in Government, who loses, nationwide about 10% of votes, as well as historic majorities in cities such as Madrid, but also in Valencia, in the wake of several corruption scandals.
