- It is usual to see the map of Gipuzkoa with the colors of EH Bildu, which is where it has the most protection. But it has jumped in the elections of 2023, and it has been further advanced to the PNV: Maddalen Iriarte has been imposed on the general meetings, and in the City Hall of San Sebastián Juan Karlos Izagirre has been left with just 1,000 votes behind Eneko Goia. The mayors of some municipalities belonging to the PNV have also been handed over to EH Bildu.
In Gipuzkoa, abstention (40.07 per cent), blank votes and no votes were also highlighted. But voters have beaten the PNV and remained as a second force in the general meetings, with 17 Members (-3) and almost 25,000 fewer votes than in 2019. EH Bildu "did it" and imposed with 120,578 votes and 22 junters (+5). Maddalen Iriarte is ready to start the next day negotiations to create a "progressive and comprehensive" government. It takes 26 seats for most, so the PP could decide the command of the joints: EH Bildu and Elkarrekin We have 24 junters at the same time as the PNV and the PSE; the PP has won 3.
Nationalists have told citizens that they have come out of these elections "understanding the message" and will continue to work over the next four years. The mayor of San Sebastian, Eneko Goia, must do so after losing almost 10,000 votes. Despite being the second most voted, the left coalition can be regarded as the winner of the capital: Izagirre’s list is less than 1,000 PNV votes, with the best result ever. He achieved 8 councillors (+2), 1 less than jeltzales. The biggest challenge of the capital will be to respond to the consequences of the tourist attraction, in which Izagirre has a more demanding proposal than Goia.

City Hall also takes out the PNV
In most of the municipalities of Gipuzkoa, the leftist independence lists have also prevailed and the PNV has eliminated a few mayors. EH Bildu will have all the mayors of Debagoiena as well as the community.
They have an absolute majority to govern only in Tolosa, Aretxabaleta and Eskoriatza, among others. Nationalists have lost 1,000 votes in Tolosa and the opposition will be 7 seats (-1). EH Bildu will send 9 councillors (+2). In other municipalities, governance is close to agreements. For example, in Arrasate-Mondragón the independence left has won with 10 seats (+2) and will have enough to send the only councillor that Elkarrekin Podemos gets. In Hondarribia, the PNV lost the majority and dropped to the second force, in front of Abotsanitz. If they got together with EH Bildu they would have a majority, above the PNV-PSE. In Andoain there may also be change, since EH Bildu has gone up and the PNV has gone down, because the PNV-PSE has no majority, and EH Bildu-Elkarrekin We can.
The PNV has again been imposed on: Elgoibar, Beasain, Lazkao, Urretxu, Azkoitia, Zarautz, Aia and Urnieta. The PSE-EE has also been imposed in the following countries: Irun, Lasarte-Oria, Eibar and Zumarraga, to name a few.
In Azpeitia, there was some doubt as to how the problem of wind power plants would affect EH Bildu, but the result will not change. Voters ratify the mandate of EH Mayor Bildu, Nagore Alkorta. EH Bildu will stand with 10 councillors, the PNV will remain opposed to 7 councillors.
EH Bildu continues to gain ground in Gipuzkoa, outperforming the PNV.
