The article reflects on the predictability of political events in Spain, noting how political analysts and the general populace have been awaiting anticipated milestones. It emphasizes that the outcomes of recent elections were largely expected, with the People's Party (PP) winning in Extremadura and Aragón, albeit with a slight unexpected loss of seats. The author points out that the tensions surrounding these results were known in advance by political observers, highlighting a shift in political engagement where surprises are rare.

In Extremadura, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) faced significant losses, which were also forecasted, while Vox's surge in both communities was anticipated. This situation underscores a systemic trend within Spanish politics that reflects the electorate's shifting preferences, as confirmed by various polls leading up to the elections. The author raises concerns about the seeming inevitability of these outcomes, suggesting a continuous cycle where electoral predictions undermine genuine political surprises.

Looking forward, the article broaches the upcoming elections in Castilla y León, where the only real uncertainty lies in the outcome for Andalucía. This suggests that while analysts can predict results with high degrees of accuracy, the political landscape is constantly evolving and the actual voter behavior can still hold surprises, albeit less frequently than in the past. The overarching theme is that political anticipation has become a central aspect of contemporary political life in Spain, thus changing the dynamics of how political campaigns are conducted.
