Este Gobierno no es extraño a los golpes. Recibió el primero apenas tres meses después de que Pedro Sánchez fuera investido presidente: en febrero de 2024, la detención de Koldo García destapó un caso que hoy tiene al ex ministro José Luis Ábalos acusado y a la espera de sentencia. La imputación de Begoña Gómez y del hermano de Sánchez , la condena al fiscal general, la constatación de que tampoco se podía poner la mano en el fuego por el otro hombre fuerte del PSOE , Santos Cerdán ... Una sucesión de escándalos que, al destaparse, han venido mermando el respaldo ciudadano que Sánchez cosecha. Pero nunca lo hicieron tanto como ahora. La imputación de José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero , el referente socialista cuyo futuro empieza a nublarse, y las informaciones sobre las presuntas cloacas de Ferraz propinan al presidente del Gobierno y líder del PSOE el mayor derrumbe de esta legislatura: pierde ocho diputados en poco más de un mes.
El barómetro de Sigma Dos para EL MUNDO correspondiente al mes de junio estima que, si los españoles votaran hoy, el 26,4% cogería la papeleta socialista, dos puntos porcentuales menos que el 28,4% que pensaba hacerlo según la encuesta de mayo. Aquella se fundamentaba en un cuestionario distribuido entre el 24 y el 29 de abril, cuando Zapatero aún participaba en mítines del PSOE y nada hacía constatar que Leire Díez , la fontanera socialista, hubiera estado en la Fiscalía General o tratado con la directora de la Guardia Civil . Cuando, en las dos primeras semanas de junio, a los ciudadanos se les ha vuelto a preguntar qué harían en las urnas, el efecto de todo ello queda patente.
El PSOE conseguiría hoy 108 diputados, 13 menos que los 121 que sienta en el Congreso . No es su peor marca de la legislatura pues el pasado agosto, tras la tormenta provocada por el caso Cerdán , también se situó en esa cifra de parlamentarios. Menos aglutinó incluso a comienzos de este año -106 en febrero-, pero todas aquellas caídas fueron más progresivas que la actual -aunque, ahora, el periodo de tiempo transcurrido entre una y otra encuesta es algo mayor-. Así, Sánchez arranca con estos datos una semana que no se presenta muy alentadora: su mujer está citada hoy en el juzgado y el miércoles tendrá que declarar Zapatero.
El PSOE reúne hoy el 26,4% del voto, dos puntos menos que hace un mes
Tampoco mejora el panorama socialista saber a quién van esos ocho diputados que ya no tendrían su nombre en el Congreso, pues seis de ellos caerían en manos de la derecha. Alberto Núñez Feijóo se anota dos parlamentarios más en este mes y, con el 32,6% de los votos -tres décimas más que en mayo- y 140 escaños, ganaría las elecciones a 6,2 puntos de distancia de Sánchez -en julio de 2023, el popular solo se sacó 1,4 puntos en porcentaje de apoyo-. Se lleva Feijóo los diputados que los socialistas pierden en Madrid y La Rioja , mientras que Santiago Abascal arrebata al partido mayoritario del Gobierno otros tres asientos en Andalucía, Baleares y Castilla y León . Vox, así, se aúpa hasta los 60 asientos en el Congreso -aunque con el mismo respaldo que en mayo, el 17,2% de las papeletas- y hace que la suma de la derecha ascienda a 200 diputados, 30 más que lo que resultó de las urnas del verano de 2023. Además, una tercera derecha sale beneficiada del desplome socialista: Aliança Catalana , la fuerza independentista antiinmigración, dobla su apoyo en el último mes y, con el 0,8% de los votos, obtendría dos escaños -le quita uno al PSOE en Cataluña -.
Que las formaciones conservadoras sean las más favorecidas por la caída de Sánchez no es fruto del funcionamiento del sistema electoral por circunscripciones, o no solo: hay una fuga real de votantes del PSOE a PP y Vox . Y, de hecho, su caudal es este mes mayor que nunca. El 8,8% de quienes en 2023 cogieron la papeleta socialista prefiere hoy al PP -688.311 personas- y otro 4,5% de ex afines al PSOE elige ahora a Vox -351.977-, con lo que Sánchez ve cómo se le van a las derechas más de un millón de votos, el 13,3% de los 7,8 millones que reunió en los comicios de hace tres años. Recupera, eso sí, 122.412 papeletas porque recibe a un 1,5% descontento con Feijóo -a Vox le quita cero-.
Es la mayor fuga hacia la derecha que el presidente acusa en esta legislatura, y además lo hace con otro matiz llamativo: su fidelidad de voto está en mínimos -solo el 66,9% de sus electores repetiría- y también lo está el porcentaje de indecisos entre sus ex apoyos. Solo el 7% de ellos duda ahora qué papeleta coger, cuando, tras el estallido del caso Cerdán , la caída socialista vino en buena parte provocada porque el 18,3% de sus votantes no sabía qué hacer. Ahora, estos son los menos: se reducen los indecisos entre quienes abandonan a Sánchez -no eran tan pocos desde septiembre de 2024-.
Seis de los ocho diputados que se deja van a PP, Vox o Aliança Catalana
Y es clarificador que el 32% de los españoles que no repetiría su voto al PSOE lo hace manifestando «desconfianza por las informaciones…
