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.
