Key Points
- 1. On May 27, 2007, Francisco Camps secured over 50 percent of the vote in the Valencian regional elections.
- 2. The Socialist Party (PSPV) nearly doubled the vote count of its conservative rival at overseas polling stations.
- 3. The polling stations exhibiting this trend were not within the borders of Valencia, but in cities such as Paris, Brussels, and Buenos Aires.
By the Numbers
In the 2007 Valencian regional elections, Francisco Camps expanded his absolute majority in the Valencian Parliament by securing over 50 percent of the votes. However, this was not the case at all polling stations in the region; some unexpected results came from far beyond the local constituencies.
The polling stations where the Socialist Party (PSPV) nearly doubled its votes compared to the People's Party (PPCV) were not located in traditional socialist strongholds like Morella, Burjassot, or Torrent, but were set up in centers abroad such as Paris, Brussels, Zurich, and Buenos Aires.
This situation reveals the political tendencies of the overseas voter base that directly affects the future of the Valencian autonomous community. These votes channeled through the diaspora demonstrate that local elections in Valencia are not entirely independent of external political dynamics.
