Surprise in the results of Santiago de Compostela. Goretti Sanmartín’s BNG could lead the consistory by drawing more than 900 from the socialists of mayor Xosé Antonio Sánchez Bugallo. With his tie to six councilors with the nationalism of the BNG, he could not fulfill his sixth term.
The nationalist Goretti Sanmartín may become the first mayoress of the Galician capital by adding the support of socialists and Compostela Aberta, which collapses from five to two mayors. If that alliance is forged to three, it will be of no use to the PP to have managed to be the list with the most votes, with eleven councilors, two of the absolute majority.
