The main reasons were the result of the Prime Minister's party, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, which lost some of the locations in which they governed. For example, Valencian Community[2] or Aragon[3].

Castilla–La Mancha is the only community with an absolute majority.[4]

In a short speech, Pedro Sánchez explained that after a meeting with King of Spain Felipe VI of Spain, assumes the result of the elections.[5]

According to experts, he tries to hide the result by calling new general elections.[6]
