Feijóo effect is sought, it will be rewarded

Laporta's victory was incontestable enough for the three sports newspapers to headline with the same concept: a thrashing. On the other hand, elections were also held in Castilla and León and the results were not to the liking of the far-right. Mañueco wins again, but still needs the far-right if he wants to secure a governing majority, and furthermore, he sees the PSOE grow. The newspapers closest to Sánchez highlight this positive evolution of the socialists and both La Vanguardia, as well as El País and El Periódico reflect this on their front pages. On the other hand, the newspapers that have spent the last few months promoting the idea that the string of regional elections would be a gale that would fill Feijóo's sails on his unstoppable path to Moncloa, already sense that the ship is running aground on the Manzanares. "Mañueco achieves a clear victory and the center-right sweeps the board," says La Razón, which applies balm to the pact with Vox by considering it simply right-wing, lest we call things by their name. "The PP wins and strengthens itself and Vox does not achieve its objective," says Abc, which adopts a different strategy to achieve the same end: reminding Abascal's people that they have stalled and, therefore, must lower their demands.

And El Mundo? Ah, El Mundo... "The PP's new victory distances the PSOE and imposes its ceiling on Abascal." They are the kings of numerical distortion. Although the socialists have risen and the newspapers on the other side of the spectrum reflect this rise, in the Unedisa newspaper it seems as if they have fallen. In any case, the great absentee from the front pages is Feijóo and his famous effect, which is lost somewhere in the Meseta. Let's see if, given the inability to be a catalyst for the presumed extreme discontent proclaimed by their allied media, we should not speak of an Effect Feijóo but rather a Defect Feijóo.
