A recent Sigma Dos poll predicts significant shifts in the upcoming Navarra regional elections. EH Bildu, a left-wing Basque nationalist party, is projected to become a major force, gaining substantial support and potentially holding 10-11 seats. This would place them in a strong negotiating position to significantly influence government formation.
The ruling Socialist party (PSN), currently led by MarΓa Chivite, is expected to maintain the second position. However, their projected 12-13 seats wouldn't be enough to govern without forming a coalition. This situation would likely require them to collaborate with EH Bildu, creating potential political challenges given EH Bildu's past and some lingering concerns.
The poll highlights the rise of pro-independence parties over those that purely advocate for regional autonomy within Spain.
