On Sunday, March 14, 2004, general elections were held in Spain. The Spaniards were called to the polls for the ninth time since the Transition to renew the Cortes Generales. Participation rose to 77.2%. They took place three days after the attacks on the Madrid suburban network, the largest terrorist act in the country's history, in which 193 people died, an event that marked the electoral results.
The PSOE led by José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero won with a 4.9% advantage over the PP led by Mariano Rajoy, thus relieving them of the government led by José María Aznar in his previous legislature in Spain.
The elections had been brought forward by four weeks by the outgoing president José María Aznar, since they should have been held on April 11. This was done with the objective that the electoral campaign did not overlap with Holy Week (in a similar way to what happened in the year 2000).
Candidates
The main candidates for the presidency of the Government:
- José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, secretary general of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE).
- Mariano Rajoy, leader of the Popular Party (PP) and successor to the then President of the Government José María Aznar.
Both were running for the first time as candidates for the presidency of the government.
Other candidates with parliamentary representation:
- Gaspar Llamazares, general coordinator of Izquierda Unida (IU)
- Josep Antoni Duran i Lleida, by Convergència i Unió (CiU), is Chairman of the Committee of Government of Unió Democràtica de Catalunya (UDC).
- Josep Lluís Carod-Rovira, president of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC); he never served as a deputy in Madrid. In the end it was Joan Puigcercós, secretary general of the party.
- Josu Erkoreka for the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV).
- Paulino Rivero by Coalition Canaria (CC).
- Francisco Rodríguez for the Nationalist Block Galego (BNG)
- José Antonio Labordeta por la Chunta Aragonesista (CHA).
- Begoña Lasagabaster by Eusko Alkartasuna (EA).
- Uxue Barkos by Nafarroa Bai (NaBai).
Electoral campaign and polls
People's Party
The President of the Government, José María Aznar, had announced in his investiture debate in 2000 that he would not stand as a candidate for a third term. On September 1, 2003, Aznar chose Mariano Rajoy as his successor at the head of the party, ruling out Rodrigo Rato and Jaime Mayor Oreja, his other two options. The following day, Aznar's decision was ratified by the National Board of Directors of the PP. As in the previous elections, the program of the Popular Party was one of continuity: the same policies and the same protagonists would be maintained, except for Aznar. The electoral campaign had an impact on the employment created during the Aznar governments, as well as the tax cuts and aid for entrepreneurs. In his first attempt to reach La Moncloa, Rajoy promised to place Spain among the most prosperous countries in Europe.
The Popular Party hoped to remain in power for four more years, in view of the good economic results —unemployment fell to 11.5%— and convergence with Europe, as well as progress in international relations between Spain. Rajoy, at that time, also highlighted the absence of cases of corruption in the Government during the mandates of the Popular Party, but years later the opposite was demonstrated.
Spanish Socialist Workers Party
The PSOE, which had suffered a poor result in the previous elections, elected deputy José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero at its congress in 2000, who narrowly prevailed over the president of Castilla-La Mancha, José Bono. The party aspired to return to government with a hitherto unknown candidate, with a young and innovative profile, opening a new era and turning the page on the era of Felipe González. Zapatero's campaign axes were an international policy different from that of Aznar, increasing the quality of employment and taking advantage of economic growth to improve public services, such as education, health, justice and pensions. His main promises were two: immediately withdraw the Spanish troops from the Iraq war and raise the minimum wage to 600 euros (100,000 pesetas) per month.
The PSOE hoped that the population's weariness with Aznar would serve to force political change in Spain. The 2000-2004 period was full of episodes that wore down the Aznar government: rounding off prices due to the entry of the euro, the sharp rise in housing prices, the "decree" (which led to a general strike), the Prestige disaster, the educational reform (LOCE), Spain's participation in the Iraq war, the Yak-42 accident... were some of the mishaps that undermined the popularity of the Government of the PP in its last years. Many of them provoked massive demonstrations. The Socialists won the 2003 municipal elections, held on May 25, by four tenths.
Polls
During a large part of the 2000-2004 Legislature, the polls gave victory to the Popular Party (except between the end of 2002 and mid-2003, when the PSOE prevailed over the PP in the polls).
Campaign
A week before the 11-M attacks, polls gave the PP a slight advantage in the elections, although it was considered unlikely that it would repeat its absolute majority of 2000, where it won 183 seats.
Throughout the electoral campaign, the PSOE had been closing the distance with the PP, according to the polls that were carried out. Even so, the polls gave a majority for the PP without reaching the absolute majority of the year 2000 but with a majority of between 15 and 20 seats. A week before the elections, due to the electoral law that prohibits it, they stopped publishing electoral polls; at that time, with a high percentage of respondents who declared themselves "undecided" (around 40%), some spoke of a technical draw.
The campaign was marked by the tripartite government pact in Catalonia, and by the meeting between Josep-Lluís Carod-Rovira and ETA leaders in Perpignan at the beginning of 2004. José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero promised not to form a government unless his party was the most voted for. Mariano Rajoy asked for a comfortable majority, so as not to have to depend on pacts.

M-11: attacks in Madrid
On March 11, three days before the elections, the biggest terrorist attack in the history of Spain took place. As a consequence, the political parties suspended their electoral acts.
The shadow of the attacks was present and perhaps it was a relevant factor for each party to obtain the votes of the previously undecided or abstentionists. Some experts in this area conclude that without the 11-M attacks, the PP would have won the elections with the majority given by the polls a week before the elections. At the headquarters of the PP, the night before the opening of the polling stations, thousands of people gathered to show their discontent with the information policy of the Ministry of the Interior on the authorship of the attacks, in which the ministry pointed out as the main suspect to ETA, despite the fact that there was another line of investigation open that was gaining more strength pointing to Islamic terrorism and that all the international press considered more probable. This controversy about the authorship of the attacks gave rise to the Conspiracy Theories of the 11 M.
On the afternoon of the 13th, a day of reflection, due to the development of unauthorized demonstrations that the Government described as tending to alter the electoral result, the Government considered requesting the holding of an extraordinary and urgent session of the Congress of the Deputies who, where appropriate, authorize the Government to declare a state of emergency, which would have meant the immediate postponement of the elections. Finally, late in the morning from the 13th to Sunday the 14th (election day), President José María Aznar ruled out this possibility, due to the difficulty for the Congress of Deputies to conclude the pertinent debate before the start of the voting on 9:00 a.m., and to avoid aggravation of the riots of the previous day.[citation required]
Election slogans
- Popular Party: Together we go more. Practically the same campaign slogan as the one used in the 2000 general elections (Let's go more). It is the party that most officially invested in the campaign, with 11,42 million euros.
- Socialist Workers Party English: We deserve better Spain and ZP, Zapatero President. ZP's motto was directed mainly to young people, and it ended up covering so many media support Zapatero as ZP. His campaign budget was 10.5 million euros.
- United Left: With your vote, it's possible. Word. He bet on the young vote. It spent about €5.7 million for the campaign.
- Convergència i Unió: Josep Antoni Duran i Lleida. Duran for Catalonia. Common sense. (Josep Antoni Duran i Lleida. Duran per Catalunya. Sentit comú.)
- Galego Nationalist Block: 2 times useful: Useful for Galiza, useful for you
- Republic of Catalonia: Parlant the gent s'entén (Speaking people understand).
- Basque Nationalist Party: Yes, I want more (Bai, gehiago nahi dut)
- Chunta Aragonesista: Labordeta, People like you
Results
The exit polls carried out on election day, which surveyed voters who had already cast their ballots, already showed significant differences with those published a week earlier by the respective sources. Most of these polls gave the Socialist Party the winner by a slight advantage.
The recount gave victory to the PSOE, which obtained 42.63% of the votes, clearly surpassing the Popular Party, which received 37.64%. The PSOE thus became the majority party in Congress, although 12 seats away from the absolute majority. The PP was the majority party in the Senate, but lost its previous absolute majority. Izquierda Unida was the third force with the most votes, although with fewer seats than Convergència i Unió, the Basque Nationalist Party and Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya, which experienced the rise predicted by the polls. In the Andalusian regional elections held that same day, the PSOE maintained an absolute majority for the fifth consecutive time, with 50.24 percent of the votes.
Hundreds of militants and socialist sympathizers celebrated the victory of their party on Ferraz street in Madrid. Zapatero honored the memory of those who died in the attacks and, before an audience in which the presence of young people stood out, he made a commitment to them by saying the words "I will not fail you". Mariano Rajoy congratulated Zapatero on his victory, and stated that the Popular Party said goodbye to power "with the peace of mind of a job well done", and "with clear accounts"..
