Esquerra Republicana de Cataluña and EH Bildu have decided not to go, just as they have done on other occasions.

And what if the outcome is similar to the ones at the last elections?

For I don't know what will happen. Political parties do not understand each other.
In my opinion, King Philip VI made the best decision.
The PSOE says it is the fault of the other parties, as they have not reached any understanding to form government.
 
King Felipe leaves for Cuba today facing an even worse situation than before after yesterdays elections.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...on-polls-pedro-sanchez-vox-psoe-a9197751.html

The result of the elections is that Spain is even more ungovernable than before.
The fourth general election within four years should have brought clarity to Spain - and a stable government. But the head of government has gambled - and lost: Instead of forming a coalition with the left-wing Podemos and securing the support of moderate regional parties after the elections in April, Sánchez preferred to push for new elections: convinced that he would become even stronger. He was wrong and all parties who did not care to take responsibility were punished.
Since yesterday it is clear that the right-wing radicals are able to establish themselves.
In addition, the Catalonia conflict destabilizes Spain. A situation not only bad for Spain but also dangerous for Europe.

I think the parties should start to work together for the sake of the country and not aginst each other. It is unrealistic to hope for an avsolute majority.
 
I think the best solution would be a central block between PSOE and PP. It would be the best for Spain.

I still don't understand why the King's state visit to Cuba has not been canceled in view of the political crisis in Spain.



The problem is that Spanish politics is adversarial in nature, but the new reality, following the emergence of third parties on the right and on the left and the rise of regional nationalist parties, is one of permanent hung / fragmented parliaments. Those two things of course are not compatible, i.e. you can't have fragmented multiparty parliaments as in Belgium or the Netherlands and, at the same time, have adversarial politics as in the UK, where one of the two major parties normally manages to win an overall majority alone.



A grand coalition between PSOE and PP would probably be the best solution, but I think that is politically impossible in the Spain. The most likely scenario in my opinion is still a PSOE/Podemos minority coalition government relying on the abstention of Ciudadanos and the nationalist/regional parties to secure the investiture of Pedro Sanchéz. PSOE will have to offer something tangible though to the Catalan and Basque nationalists to achieve that.



A constitutional amendment to turn Spain into a full federal state is the least I would expect, but I am still not sure if Sanchéz would go as far as offering a Madrid sanctioned independence referendum in Catalonia, which he can't actually promise as it would be unconstitutional to do so in Spain.

Wonder why it was out on the Agenda for this date. Or if could have not been cancelled why did they not the elections a week later after he has come back.

Yes the visit to Cuba should have been canceled.

The question of Catalonia is a question that concerns me. I hope it will be resolved next year, whatever the outcome.
 
PSOE and Podemos together not have a majority and it is not known if this coalition will be approved in parliament.
I hope that if they can make government that will not undermine the monarchy.
