PACMA gains 30% more votes for congress than in late 2015.

PACMA writes history again in the national elections of Sunday the 26th of June. With an unprecedented number of over 284,000 votes for the Congress and 1,200,000 votes for the Senate, the party has largely exceeded the result of December 2015.

Despite the large number of votes, the party is not awarded any seats in the parliament – unprecedented in Spanish parliamentary history. This is because of how the electoral system and the electoral district work in Spain. PACMA is therefore aiming for a law in which every vote is worth the same and it urges the parties which were given a seat to start reforming the Spanish electoral law.

But this result has again shown that PACMA is growing unstoppably and that also in Spain many people vote for a party that is not in the first instance focussed on short-term human interest, but that stands up for animals, the environment and social justice.

In the next European elections this result would mean that PACMA will be represented in the European Parliament, which would be a milestone in the history of animals rights in Spain.
