The republican soul of the PSOE regains all its strength based on the results of the survey on the monarchy promoted by the Independent Media Platform *. It is worth remembering that the PSOE declares itself in its statutes as a republican party although, faithful to its commitment to the constitutional pact, it has remained loyal to the parliamentary monarchy. As Pedro Sánchez recently asserted to the bases of his party: “The parliamentary monarchy is part of the constitutional pact. And we are loyal, from start to finish." 47.9% of Spaniards believe that 'the monarchy is an institution from other times and that it makes no sense in a democracy'.
This percentage rises to 60% if we talk about PSOE voters , and 90% when it comes to the electorate of Unidas Podemos (UP). The data is reversed in the right-wing parties, as reflected AOL Email List in the graph. graph 6 Asked for their opinion on 'for what it contributes, the cost of the monarchy is disproportionate' , socialist voters 'strongly agree' at 67.5% (almost 90% in the case of UP); and again the trend is reversed in the right-wing parties PP and Vox, which disagree with this statement between 55-60%. In Ciudadanos, on the other hand, the percentage of those who see the cost of the monarchy as disproportionate wins (50%). For the purposes of the socialist voter, it is also significant that 87.4% want a reform of the Constitution. Up to 77% of socialists say that they voted in the 1978 referendum.
However, if this vote can be validated 40 years later the percentage drops almost 11 points. In the chapter on changes in the monarchy , the socialist voter is overwhelmingly in favor of the king being judged for his actions and greater transparency in the institution. The possible holding of a referendum between monarchy and republic is supported by 60%, although when it comes to voting it would be 55% who would opt for a republican model. Only 30% would vote for monarchy, leaving 15% in undecided or abstention positions (Page 44) . If the republic is achieved, the socialists would prefer 60% to a president elected directly by the citizens and with broad powers.
