The Galician Nationalist Block obtains the best result in its history with 23,8%

The slight rise in participation among young people would have benefited the BNG, Bloque Nacionalista Galego. The Galician nationalists, who won six seats in 2016, added 13 more yesterday, and have obtained their best result in history (which was 18); now it had 6. Galician independence has surpassed the Spanish nationalism of the PSOE, which maintains representation in the Galician parliament (14) while the Spanish center-right wins the elections with an absolute majority.
