The element also highlighted in this election is that for the first time they hold a majority in seats in the Catalan Parliament and in the electorate respectively the three parties representing the separatists who support holding a referendum with the aim of Catalonia becoming an independent state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The three separatist parties oppose the Socialists seeking to maintain the unity of Spain rather than the autonomy of Catalonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These three parties received: ERC (The Republican left of Catalonia) 21.3% and 33 seats, Junts per Catalonia (Together for Catalonia) 20.1% and 32 seats, CUP (The Popular Unity Candidacy) 6.7% and 9 seats hold control of the Catalan Parliament and most of the electorate. The other parties occupied Vox 7.7% and 11 seats, ECP-PEC 6.9% and 8 seats, Cs 5.6% and 6 seats, PP 3.8% and 3 seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How does this new unstable political scene of maintaining Spain’s unity now translate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.<\/strong> The strengthening of separatists in both electoral and electoral percentage as well as in seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.<\/strong> Change of leadership in the parties that lead Catalonia’s autonomy. In 201 center-left ERC party takes the place of the right-wing Junts per Catalonia. Catalonia’s centre-left is seen as conciliatory in its approach and maintains good relations with Spain’s government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.<\/strong> The Socialists are now Catalonia’s great political force leading the conservation unity of Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.<\/strong> The far-right Vox party is the right-wing political wing of Catalonia and is in favour of the unity of Spain, something that the Socialists will exploit for the formation of the Government of Catalonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spain’s Socialist party by increasing Catalonia’s self-government within Spain will find its allies Vox and the ERC and could be able to prevent a referendum that would lead to Catalonia’s secession and the creation of an independent state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spain’s economy manages to cope with Covid-19 recession <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to the covid-19 pandemic, Spain’s economy is under tough and constant testing. Its GDP followed a significant growth path until the onset of the pandemic. More specifically, its GDP grew for 2017 (4.31%), 2018 (3.64%), 2019 (3.36%) and 2019 (3.36%). and in 2020 experienced a recession (-10%). (Source: Eurostat, https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/ eurostat\/databrowser\/view\/nama_10_gdp\/default\/table?lang=en<\/a>, 28\/02\/2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Annual unemployment in recent years has moved 2017 (17,2%), 2018 (15,3%) 2019 (14,1%) (Source: Eurostat https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/eurostat\/databrowser\/view\/une_rt_a\/default\/table?lang=en<\/a>, 28\/02\/2021) and 2020 (16%) with youth unemployment moving to 40%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The budget deficit of the annual government budget moved in 2017 (-3.0%), 2018 (-2.5%), 2019 (-2.9%) and 2019 (-2.9%).

The recession of -10% for 2020 is due to public spending to tackle the pandemic and reduce tax revenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Spain's](\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image.jpeg\")
