PSOE and PSC presented two different candidatures: PSOE in Spain and PSC (Catalan Social Party) only in Catalonia. Despite their sutile differences, both PSC and PSOE are going to merge and form the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) we all know nowadays. PCE also presented a different candidature in Catalonia, called the Partit Socialista Unificat de Catalunya, which obtained one seat, which is added to PCE in this table.
