Deep change in Catalan political landscape
From http://www.catalannewsagency.com/news/politics/catalonia-sends-strong-message-and-changes-political-landscape (in English)
The elections of November 28th, 2010, have produced a deep change in the Catalan political landscape. The coalition of left-wing parties (PSC-PSOE, ERC and ICV-EUiA) that had been in power for the last 7 years was clearly defeated by the centre-right Catalan nationalist coalition CiU. CiU has won 62 seats, 14 more than the left-wing coalition, and has remained only 6 seats below the absolute majority. Artur Mas, leader of CiU, will be the next Catalan President for the next 4 years. The Socialist Party (PSC-PSOE), whose candidate was the current President of Catalonia, José Montilla, had the worst results in history with only 28 seats. Popular Party (PP) was third with 18 seats, whereas Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC), one of the three parties in the coalition in power, collapsed and lost more than half of its seats, of which could retain only 10. ICV-EUiA, the left-wing Socialist and Green party lost 2 seats and went from 12 to 10. The Anti-Catalan Nationalism Party Ciudadanos maintained its 3 seats, whereas former FC Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, won 4 seats with his new political party, Solidaritat Catalana per la Independència, a party that clearly stands for Catalan independence. Turnout nearly reached 60%.
