Spanish poll moves 0.2 points and every party calls for a minute's silence for the stability that saved them

The PSOE rises 0.1 points, Vox rises 0.2 and the PP stays the same, and all three headquarters have called press conferences to announce what they call 'momentum'.

The PSOE, on 31.2%, described its 0.1-point rise as 'the greatest popular mandate since decimals began'. A party source insisted that the margin of error is for other people.

At the PP, which holds steady on 28.5%, the leadership celebrated the 'heroic resistance of those who did not move'. An adviser who asked not to be identified explained that staying the same is winning when your opponent has also stayed the same.

Vox, which rises from 17.3% to 17.5%, spoke of an 'unstoppable wave'. The Frente Amplio, which drops 0.1 points to 7.5%, warned that polls don't vote, but that this one in particular has clearly been bought.

The 6000 respondents, meanwhile, have already gone back to normal life. One of them, from Zaragoza, said he gave the same answer as last time and doesn't understand why that is news.

Esquerra, Se Acabó La Fiesta, Podemos and Junts did not change at all and were the only ones not to declare victory. An economist who has given up on it all noted that they are also the only ones whose books balance.

Staying the same is winning when your opponent has also stayed the same, explained an adviser who asked not to be identified.
