Catalan PSC projected to win 34‑37 seats, Aliança Catalana to become second force
A GESOP poll conducted from 16 to 22 July for El Periódico shows the Socialists' Party of Catalonia (PSC) would win 34‑37 seats in a hypothetical Catalan election, down from its current 42 seats, with roughly 25 % of the vote. Aliança Catalana would rise to become the second‑largest party, securing 25‑28 seats and about 16.8 % of the vote. ERC would obtain 24‑27 seats, while Junts would fall to 15‑18 seats. The centre‑right PP would edge slightly ahead of Vox, each projected to obtain between 11‑13 seats. The poll also reports high voter loyalty: AC (94.1 %) and Vox (76.1 %) have the strongest fidelity, with notable vote transfers from Junts, PSC and other parties toward Aliança Catalana.
These results indicate a reshaping of Catalonia’s party system, with Aliança Catalana overtaking traditional forces and the PSC losing seats but remaining the leading party.
