socialist won in all autonomías and big cities and just declared that they won the election.

they have 1mil of votes more but don't hold absoluto, falta 12 seats.

en cataluña pp got reduced to its half.

finally some cifras en la pagina oficial

funny that even the number of participation that was trumped out by media about how many people went to the poll differs from the pagina oficial for the year 2000 :)

2004: 77,44% versus 63% 2000: 68,71% versus 55%

but it seems that more people voted in favor of the socialists

after 11,98% de los votos: psoe 164 seats pp 134 ciu 11

greens and also the left republican (erc) win, while the conservatives loose votes.

erc (from 1 seat to 8 after ~30% de votes) is impressionante, because they were nearly criminalized by pp because their leader talked with some members of eta some month ago.

43% de votes: psoe 43% (164 seats) pp 36% (146) ciu 3,30 (10) erc 2,64 (8)

and despite of the so called crisis of the new left wing government in cataluña also here conservative lost and left wing parties won

andalucía voted twice today (generales and provinicales) psoe 54% (+10%), pp 31,8% (-9)

61.21% psoe 43,4 (165) pp 36,81 (144) ciu 3,26 (10) erc 2,62 (8)

web oficial first 'cifras' around 20.00, right after the closing of the polling stations.

so far the participation has been higher than last time. i don't consider 63% as high, but if you compare it with 2000 (55%) more went a las urnas.

elpais

first projection tele5 pp wins the eleccion, but no absoluto (40,6%) ~ -4 psoe no ganas, but gets more votes (38,3%) ~ +4

hm, everything seems to be open elpais:" Sondeos: TVE da la victoria al PSOE, Tele5 al PP"

in case of tve, they estimate that pp lost much more and went down to 36%, psoe up to 41% ...

actually the coverage of tve (state tv) is hectic like hell. they are always cutting interviews and switch over to the next one. imposible to watch.
