1995 Tuscan regional election, Results
In the context of the profound political changes that invested Italy between 1992 and 1994, Italian Parliament changed the regional electoral law, adapting them to new majoritarian principle now in vogue in the country, trim and tend bipolar politics. The new political geography, however, did not fit properly to Tuscany where, besides a garrison of right, assumed insignificant importance the presence of Umberto Bossi's Northern League, which, instead of the others regions, substained the center-left candidate. Another major innovation had originated in Tuscany: Silvio Berlusconi' party, Forza Italia, had collected anti-Communist orphans of deceased traditional parties.


1995 Tuscan regional election, Results
The central political alliances had not been followed up at Tuscany, with the Communist Refoundation Party in sharp contrast with PDS because of the contrast into the old party of PCI. PRC accused the PDS and at the same time the Lega Nord accused Forza Italia to be the trojan horse for the recycling of the old political class, had led to the arrest of the Northern League's electoral steady ascent, if not also a marked reflux into the consent of the federalist party. Soparadoxically, the Northern League substained Chiti.

Both teams had new coaches coming into the game. While the Nigerians had performed well at the 1994 World Cup, it was missing many of its top players from that competition while the U.S. had most of its veteran core intact.

He made the last minute trip in order to play in his club side’s vital win to avoid relegation. The Nigerians showed well early, going on the attack from the opening whistle.

In the 8th minute, Jay-Jay Okocha ran unmarked across the top of the box with the ball, shooting into the goal. While John Harkes countered with a long range shot of his own, the Nigerians continued to run at a shaky U.S. defense. In the 19th minute, U.S. defender Mike Burns attempted to clear shot a cross, but instead put it into the path of Taiwo Wasui to score from 8 yards. Burns redeemed himself when Marcelo Balboa, earning his 100th cap in this game, headed in a goal off his free kick just before the half.

The second leg at the San Siro in Milan finished in a 1–1 draw, and a win on aggregate for  Parma. It was their first UEFA Cup final victory, with Juventus having won three in the past.


1995 UEFA Cup Final, Background
This was the fifth time a continental final had been played by two teams from the same country and the third all-Italian final. The first also featured Juventus, who overcame Fiorentina by three goals to one over two legs in the 1990 UEFA Cup Final. It was Parma's first appearance in a UEFA Cup final, but represented the third consecutive year in which they had contested a European final, following European Cup Winners' Cup final appearances in 1993 (a win) and 1994 (a defeat). It was Juventus' fourth appearance in a UEFA Cup final; the previous finals were all two-legged affairs ending in victory for the Turin club, against Athletic Bilbao in 1977 on the away goals rule, Fiorentina in 1990 and Borussia Dortmund in 1993.


1995 UEFA Cup Final, Background
Parma's only previous experience in Europe against another Italian side was in the 1993 European Super Cup when they emerged victorious over A.C. Milan by two goals to one over two legs, having lost the first leg at home by a single goal. Juventus were meanwhile attempting to complete the third leg of a treble of titles: Serie A, Coppa Italia and the UEFA Cup.


1995 UEFA Cup Final, Background
While Parma played their home tie at their home ground, Stadio Ennio Tardini, Juventus chose to play their home leg away from Turin at the San Siro, home ground of Inter Milan and Milan, because they had difficulties with the landlord at their own stadium, Stadio delle Alpi, and had experienced poor attendances there, in contrast to the big crowds they attracted playing in other cities. They had already played the semi-final of the competition in Milan (and would later play the 1996 UEFA Super Cup even further from home, in Palermo).


1995 UEFA Cup Final, Background
The two sides would also meet the following month in the 1995 Coppa Italia Final, which Juventus won 3–0 on aggregate.

In accordance with the General Assembly's rules for the geographic distribution of the non-permanent members of the Security Council, and established practice, the members were to be elected as follows: two from Africa, one from Asia, one from Latin American and the Caribbean Group (GRULAC), and one from the Eastern European Group.


1995 United Nations Security Council election, Candidates
There was a total of seven candidates for the five seats. The seats of the Asian Group and GRULAC were not contested, with single candidates applying for them: Chile and the Republic of Korea, respectively. For the two seats reserved for African nations, there were three candidates: Benin, Egypt, and Guinea-Bissau; the election was only significantly contested between Benin and Guinea-Bissau, as Egypt's candidacy was to fill the unofficial seat reserved for members of the Arab League (being vacated by Oman). For the single seat of the Eastern European Group, there were two candidates: Albania and Poland. Of these, a number were the official endorsed candidates of their respective regional groups. These endorsements were as follows:

1995 University of Maryland conference on crime and genetics
The University of Maryland hosted a 1995 conference to examine and discuss the relationship between genetics and crime. It took place from September 22 to 24 at the Aspen Institute in Queenstown, Maryland. It was originally planned for 1992, but was effectively cancelled after the original proposal was met with fierce backlash and accusations of racism.


1995 University of Maryland conference on crime and genetics, Background, Originally planned 1992 conference
In 1992, UMD professor David Wasserman set out to organize a meeting to discuss the potential genetic bases for criminal behavior. The originally planned conference was entitled "Genetic Factors in Crime: Findings, Uses and Implications", and was scheduled to be held on the University of Maryland's College Park campus on October 9, 1992. It was to be funded by a $78,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

When the planned conference became known to the public, it faced swift backlash and condemnation from civil rights activists, as well as from Peter Breggin, a prominent critic of psychiatry. Breggin's claim that the conference was racist had attracted the attention of the Congressional Black Caucus, which subsequently joined Breggin in protesting the conference, as did the Association of Black Psychologists and the NAACP's Baltimore chapter. Wasserman responded to the conference's critics by saying that the conference would aim to critically examine, not promote, research linking genes to crime, but this did not satisfy its critics.


1995 University of Maryland conference on crime and genetics, Background, Originally planned 1992 conference
The backlash to Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration then-director Frederick K. Goodwin's controversial statement earlier that year, which compared inner cities in the United States to "jungles", inspired further opposition. Breggin had publicly linked the planned conference both to Goodwin's remarks and to an anti-violence initiative that had recently been proposed by then-Secretary of Health and Human Services Louis Wade Sullivan.


1995 University of Maryland conference on crime and genetics, Background, Originally planned 1992 conference
In July 1992, the NIH's National Center for Human Genome Research revoked the $78,000 grant that it had already given in response to the opposition, effectively cancelling it. That September, the NIH announced that it would be postponing the conference indefinitely, putting an end to the organizers' attempts to convince the NIH to reinstate the grant. In defending their decision to revoke the conference grant, it also cited a brochure promoting the conference and claimed that the brochure implied, falsely, that the NIH itself believed that there was a definitive link between genetics and crime.


1995 University of Maryland conference on crime and genetics, Background, Originally planned 1992 conference
John W. Diggs, the NIH's then-deputy director for outside research, told the New York Times that the brochure suggested as scientific facts the link between genetics and crime and the potential for genetic tests to identify people predisposed to criminal behavior. Diggs further said that these statements "inflamed public opinion" and deviated significantly from the scope of the original grant proposal.


1995 University of Maryland conference on crime and genetics, Background, Originally planned 1992 conference
The University of Maryland responded to the cancellation by claiming that the NIH's withdrawal of the grant was a violation of the University's academic freedom and appealed the NIH's decision to cancel the conference. The appeal succeeded, and NIH funded the conference again, this time with a $133,000 grant. The NIH's new grant was awarded after Wasserman broadened the scope of topics to be covered in the conference, as well as allowing for more discussion on the desirability and potential implications of the research.


1995 University of Maryland conference on crime and genetics, Background, Originally planned 1992 conference
This broader scope was reflected in the conference's new name, "The Meaning and Significance of Research on Genetics and Criminal Behavior", and also persuaded some critics of the original 1992 conference to attend the new one. After the change in scope, the conference ended up focusing "...far more on the significance of the research into the biology of violent behavior than it did on the research itself", as Natalie Angier noted. Despite the changed scope, however, Goodwin criticized the 1995 conference for being designed to attract controversy, rather than to address the topic from a scientific perspective.


1995 University of Maryland conference on crime and genetics, Conference
The conference took place from Friday, September 22 to Sunday, September 24, 1995, at the Aspen Institute, a liberal think tank in Queenstown, Maryland. In total, about 70 "biologists, criminologists, historians, and philosophers" attended the conference, according to Science. Panelists included Diana Fishbein, Dorothy Nelkin, Evan Balaban, David Comings, Irving Gottesman, Adrian Raine, and Adrienne Asch.

On September 23, 1995, the second day of the conference, over 30 protesters with signs and red flags marched into the meeting. The protesters, who were affiliated with the Progressive Labor Party, accused the conference's organizers of "pushing genocide". They went on to invade one of the conference rooms at the institute, where they grabbed a microphone and denounced the meeting. The protest was ended peacefully two hours later. Some of the protesters also compared the topics discussed at the conference to eugenics, a sentiment echoed by panelist Paul Billings. In the opening discussion, Billings asked, "How do we know the bad old days are over? I would argue that the evidence is that the bad old days aren't over."

On September 24, the third and last day of the conference, Howard University professor Rodney Green began addressing the audience just as they were leaving for a coffee break. Green told them, "We have to consider whether this conference should continue. What we heard this morning...was a racist presentation under the guise of genetics."

After the conference ended, a report based on the talks given there was published in Politics and the Life Sciences. Some of the conference talks were also published in the 2001 book Genes and Criminal Behavior, published as part of Cambridge University Press's Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Public Policy series.

1995 Utah State Aggies football team
The 1995 Utah State Aggies football team represented Utah State University in the 1995 NCAA Division I-A football season. The Aggies were led by first-year head coach John L. Smith, who replaced Charlie Weatherbie after he left to coach Navy. The Aggies played their home games at Romney Stadium in Logan, Utah. Despite a difficult 0–5 start to the season, the Aggies won four of the next six and finished third in the Big West Conference.

John L. Smith was subsequently hired away from the University of Idaho on January 3, 1995. Smith would fill his coaching staff primarily with coaches he had known at Idaho, including coordinators Bobby Petrino and Chris Smeland.


1995 Utah State Aggies football team, Season Summary
Utah State began the season in a frustrating, yet familiar, fashion as they would lose early and be unable to dig themselves out for a chance at bowl eligibility. Particularly frustrating in 1995 were the four losses in the first four games, where three games were decided by less than a touchdown and a home defeat to the Division I-AA Boise State Broncos. Failing to win two of the four games would eventually cost the Aggies a chance at a second bowl season in three years.


1995 Utah State Aggies football team, Season Summary
After another loss, this time to a strong Colorado State side, the Aggies won four of the remaining six games on the schedule. The Aggies finished with a 2-3 road record to go with a 2-4 home record.


1995 Utah State Aggies football team, Season Summary
The team was led offensively by running back Abu Wilson and wide receiver Kevin Alexander. Wilson amassed 1,476 rushing yards (5th most all-time) and 15 touchdowns (3rd most) during the 1995 season. Alexander pulled in 92 receptions (2nd most all-time) and 1,400 receiving yards (2nd most) for the season. Both players would earn First-Team All-Big West Conference honors.


1995 Utah State Aggies football team, Season Summary
Leading the way for the Aggies defensively was linebacker David Gill. The junior from Pleasanton, California would set a single season record for most tackles, with 168. It has since been surpassed only by Tony D'Amato's 170 tackles during the 1998 season. Danilo Robinson set the single game sack and tackle-for-loss record at Utah State during 1995 in a game against San Jose State, in which he accumulated five sacks and six TFLs. Gill was named to the All-Big West first team, and Robinson to the second team.


1995 Utah State Aggies football team, Season Summary
As a team, the Aggies had moments of success that could have carried them to a second Big West title in three years. However, at times the Aggies were undisciplined and prevented themselves from winning additional games. Nowhere was this lack of focus more obvious than the single-season records set by the 1995 team in penalties (116) and penalty yards (1,131). In just one loss to San Jose State, the Aggies gave up 185 penalty yards in a single game (the most ever by a Utah State team).


1995 Utah State Aggies football team, Awards and honors
The Aggies had five players named to either the first or second all-conference team in the Big West.


1995 Utah Utes football team
During the 1995 season, the Utes went 7–4 and were conference co-champions, along with Air Force, BYU, and Colorado State. Despite this, the team was not invited to play in a bowl game, after playing postseason ball for three consecutive seasons previously. All four losses were at home — the team was a perfect 5–0 on the road.


1995 Utah Utes football team
This team also won two games at home in fourth-quarter comebacks against Fresno State and Air Force. The comeback against Air Force was won in miraculous fashion with quarterback Mike Fouts throwing a pair of touchdown passes in the final 41 seconds of the game, assisted by a rare onside kick recovery after the first touchdown pass.


1995 Uzbek League
The 1995 Uzbek League season was the 4th edition of top level football in Uzbekistan since independence from the Soviet Union in 1992.

It was contested by 16 teams, and Neftchi Farg'ona won the championship.


1995 Uzbek presidential term referendum
A referendum on extending President Islam Karimov's term was held in Uzbekistan on 26 March 1995. The proposal would see Karimov remain in office until 2000. It was approved by 99.6% of voters, with a 99.3% turnout. The referendum was held a few months before Karimov's current term was due to expire, as he had been elected in December 1991.


1995 Uzbek presidential term referendum, Conduct
The United States criticized the referendum for its "lack of public debate", and noted several cases where one person cast votes for their entire family. At the time, Karimov publicly stated that he considered the referendum to be the equivalent of re-election for a second term, which under the Constitution would have required him to leave office in 2000. However, the legislature passed a resolution opposing the decision, leading Karimov to announce he would run for re-election in 2000.


1995 VFA season
The 1995 Victorian Football Association season was the 114th overall season of the Australian rules football competition. The premiership was won by the Springvale Football Club, after it defeated Sandringham in the Grand Final on 24 September by 43 points; it was the second premiership won by the club.


1995 VFA season
The 1995 season was the first season contested after the Victorian Football Association's board of management was dissolved and administration of the competition was turned over to the Victorian State Football League. Under the VSFL, the competition was restructured as a state league to serve as a supporting and developmental competition for the Victorian clubs in the Australian Football League. The 1995 season is a transitional season between the old and new structures. It was the final season in which the competition was known as the Victorian Football Association, before switching its name to Victorian Football League in 1996.


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, Background
Through the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Australian Football League (which had been known as the Victorian Football League until 1990) had expanded from a Melbourne-based competition into a national competition, and by 1994 it had admitted four new clubs: West Coast, Brisbane, Adelaide; and Fremantle was announced to begin playing in 1995 – with further expansion discussed.


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, Background
This had created inconsistencies in the AFL's structure: the Victorian clubs (and Sydney, which had a Victorian heritage) operated with a traditional minor grades structure, each fielding reserves and under-19s teams in a dedicated competition in addition to the seniors; but the interstate clubs operated only a senior team, with their states' existing state-level competitions (the South Australian National Football League, Queensland Australian Football League and West Australian Football League) serving the function of the minor grades and junior development.


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, Background
The AFL began to act on this inconsistency at the end of its 1991 season, when it abolished its traditional zone-based recruiting in favour of the AFL Draft for Victorian clubs, and abolished its under-19s competition. A new administrative body, the Victorian State Football League, was established to take over the AFL's administration of football in Victoria, which included football at most levels, but did not include the Victorian Football Association, which operated independently. The VSFL operated a new under-18s competition with newly established clubs across metropolitan and regional Victoria which were independent from AFL clubs. The Victorian AFL clubs and Sydney still operated reserves teams, and VSFL operated their reserves competition. In 1993, the AFL Commission was granted the power to administer the AFL independently, replacing the former structure requiring a vote of club presidents to enact decisions.


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, Background
Separate to the AFL's drivers, the Victorian Football Association and most of its clubs were in severe financial trouble by 1994. Many clubs were still struggling with debt built up from overspending during the 1970s or 1980s, and most clubs were reliant on poker machines (or older, less lucrative bingo licences) and cutting player payments to stay viable, since gate takings and sponsorships could not sustain the clubs. As a sign of the Association's struggles, the $25,000 affiliation fee was waived in 1994. The Association executive believed that the Association was heading towards folding if no changes were made.


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, State league proposal
One of the early urgent priorities for the AFL Commission when it gained its enhanced administrative powers was to complete the restructuring of state-level football in Victoria. In early 1994, the commission proposed the establishment of a new Victorian state league, which was to have commenced in 1995. The plan would include:


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, State league proposal
This new structure was intended to: bring the Victorian structure in line with the interstate structures; reduce operating costs for the Victorian AFL clubs; and, stop the exodus of undrafted or delisted Victorian players to the SANFL or WAFL by providing a strong state-level senior competition for those players to play in, resulting in a stronger developmental structure in Victoria overall to protect the interests of the game in the state. The commission also considered including a club in Tasmania to provide similar developmental benefits to that state.


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, State league proposal
Although the AFL Commission did not explicitly propose that the new state league comprise the Association clubs, it was seen as a natural solution. The Association saw its own involvement in the new state league structure as its only means of survival, and had to some extent been preparing for such a change since the 1986 FORT review. Association president Tony Hannebery worked with VSFL president Ken Gannon throughout 1994 to arrange for a merger. In July, the two bodies agreed in principle to a merger under which the Association administration would be merged into the VSFL administration, and some but not all of the Association clubs would become the metropolitan teams in the state league.


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, State league proposal
As the 1994 season progressed, there was an increasingly strong opposition from the Victorian AFL clubs against the proposal to abolish their reserves competition, and it reached the point that the clubs threatened to unite and enact their power to sack the AFL Commission if it went through with the plan. Consequently, the AFL Commission acquiesced on the matter of abolition of the reserves competition; but, it still proceeded with the establishment of the new VSFL state league from 1995, to run in parallel with the AFL reserves. The AFL Commission promised to revisit the abolition of the AFL reserves, which ultimately occurred for the 2000 season.


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, Merger of the VFA and VSFL
In October, the Association and the VSFL agreed to terms for a merger. As a result, the Association board of management was formally dissolved, bringing an end to the Victorian Football Association's 117 years as an independent entity. The Association was given three seats on the nine-man VSFL board, and Tony Hannebery departed as the Association's final president.


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, Merger of the VFA and VSFL
To establish its on-field composition, the VSFL extended invitations for eight of the Association's twelve clubs to join under 'A' licences. These clubs would form the state league's eight Melbourne-based clubs, with each to field a senior and reserves team, and to be affiliated with one of the VSFL Under-18s competition's seven metropolitan clubs or the Geelong Falcons. The remaining Association clubs could apply for a 'B' licence, which would end their time as senior clubs, but allow them to carry on their existing identity in the Under-18s competition.


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, Merger of the VFA and VSFL
The first club to announce it was taking a 'B' licence was Prahran, which withdrew from senior competition on 16 September 1994. The remaining clubs submitted bids for 'A' licences. Because of the need for the senior clubs to be viable and geographically aligned with their VSFL Under-18s teams, clubs were competing against their neighbours for access to the 'A' licences, and five clubs immediately appeared secure: Box Hill (aligned with Eastern), Frankston (Southern), Sandringham (Central), Preston (Northern) and Werribee (Geelong). This left six clubs fighting over the remaining three regions: Coburg, Port Melbourne and Williamstown (North-Western and Western); and Dandenong, Oakleigh and Springvale (South-Eastern).


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, Merger of the VFA and VSFL
In the end, the Association proposed and obtained agreement from the VSFL to admit nine Association clubs for the 1995 season instead of eight. Springvale received the 'A' licence for the south-east, and Oakleigh and Dandenong both received 'B' licences; and Coburg, Port Melbourne and Williamstown were all given 'A' licences and shared their two regions. In admitting the nine clubs, the VSFL stated that it still intended to reduce the number to eight for the 1996 season, meaning that one club was likely to face expulsion at the end of the season.


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, Merger of the VFA and VSFL
The three clubs with 'B' licences each gave their name and home ground to one of the VSFL Under-18 teams: the Central Dragons moved to Toorak Park and became the Prahran Dragons; the Southern Stingrays moved to Shepley Oval and became the Dandenong Southern Stingrays; and the south-eastern team, which was new for 1995, set up at Warrawee Park and was named the Oakleigh Chargers.


1995 VFA season, Competition re-structure, Merger of the VFA and VSFL
With the additional changes slated for the 1996 season, the 1995 season was a transitional season between the old and new structures, and cannot easily be categorised as being part of one era or the other. Despite the significant off-field changes, the on-field continuity was sufficient that the new state league structure is considered a continuation of the former Association, with premierships and onfield records from each considered equivalent.


1995 VFA season, Premiership season
In the home-and-away season, each team played sixteen games, a reduction from eighteen which had been played for many years. The top five then contested the finals under the McIntyre Final Five system. Finals were played at Victoria Park.


1995 VFA season, Notable events, Interleague matches
The Association played one interstate match, against New South Wales, during 1995. The match was played on 17 June at the Melbourne Cricket Ground as a curtain raiser to the State of Origin match between Victoria and South Australia.


1995 Vale of Glamorgan Council election
The 1995 Vale of Glamorgan Council election was held on 4 May 1995 to the new Vale of Glamorgan Council unitary authority in Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. It took place on the same day as other council elections in Wales and England. These were the first elections since the re-organization of local government in Wales.


1995 Vale of Glamorgan Council election
Though the Conservative Party had led the previous council, their representation was decimated at the 1995 election, with Labour winning a majority.


1995 Vale of Glamorgan Council election, Overview
These were the first elections held following local government reorganisation, which created new 'super authorities' and would lead to the abolition of South Glamorgan County Council on 1 April 1996. Vale of Glamorgan councillors would act in a shadow capacity to the new Vale of Glamorgan Council, until the following April.


1995 Vale of Glamorgan Council election, Overview
47 council seats across 22 electoral wards were up for election. The ward boundaries for the new authority were based primarily on the previous Vale of Glamorgan Borough Council, though there were some boundary changes. Ewenny transferred to the Vale, with the Llandow ward becoming Llandow/Ewenny. The St Brides Major and Wick communities, was which was previously within the Borough of Ogwr, transferred to become a new Vale ward of St Brides Major, increasing the number of Vale councillors by one.


1995 Vale of Glamorgan Council election, Election result
Twenty Conservative councillors had been elected at the 1991 election. At the 1995 election their number was reduced to six, in what the South Wales Echo described as an unanticipated "annihilation" at the hands of the Labour Party. All five seats in the previously 'safe'  Conservative Alexandra ward were won by Labour, as were two of the three 'safe' Conservative seats in Cowbridge. Plaid Cymru also took seats from the Conservatives, increasing their numbers to five.

1995 Valencia City Council election
The 1995 Valencia City Council election, also the 1995 Valencia municipal election, was held on Sunday, 28 May 1995, to elect the 5th City Council of the municipality of Valencia. All 33 seats in the City Council were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in thirteen autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain.


1995 Valencia City Council election, Electoral system
The City Council of Valencia (Valencian: Ajuntament de València, Spanish: Ayuntamiento de Valencia) was the top-tier administrative and governing body of the municipality of Valencia, composed of the mayor, the government council and the elected plenary assembly. Elections to the local councils in Spain were fixed for the fourth Sunday of May every four years.


1995 Valencia City Council election, Electoral system
Voting for the local assembly was on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprised all nationals over eighteen, registered in the municipality of Valencia and in full enjoyment of their political rights, as well as resident non-nationals whose country of origin allowed Spanish nationals to vote in their own elections by virtue of a treaty. Local councillors were elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with an electoral threshold of five percent of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied in each local council. Councillors were allocated to municipal councils based on the following scale:


1995 Valencia City Council election, Electoral system
The mayor was indirectly elected by the plenary assembly. A legal clause required that mayoral candidates earned the vote of an absolute majority of councillors, or else the candidate of the most-voted party in the assembly was to be automatically appointed to the post. In the event of a tie, the appointee would be determined by lot.


1995 Valencia City Council election, Electoral system
The electoral law allowed for parties and federations registered in the interior ministry, coalitions and groupings of electors to present lists of candidates. Parties and federations intending to form a coalition ahead of an election were required to inform the relevant Electoral Commission within ten days of the election call, whereas groupings of electors needed to secure the signature of a determined amount of the electors registered in the municipality for which they were seeking election, disallowing electors from signing for more than one list of candidates. For the case of Valencia, as its population was between 300,001 and 1,000,000, at least 5,000 signatures were required.

1995 Valencian regional election
The 1995 Valencian regional election was held on Sunday, 28 May 1995, to elect the 4th Corts of the Valencian Community. All 89 seats in the Corts were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in twelve other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain.


1995 Valencian regional election
As a result of the election, the People's Party (PP) increased its vote share by 15 percentage points relative to the 1991 Courts elections. For the first time, the PP had won a regional election, becoming the first party to poll more than 1 million votes in the area and gaining eleven seats, 3 short of an absolute majority. Most of the gains came from Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), which lost 13 seats in the election. The regionalist Valencian Union (UV) also lost 1 seat, while United Left (IU) gained 4 seats to overtake UV as the third largest party.


1995 Valencian regional election
A coalition agreement between the PP and UV was able to force the PSOE out from the Valencian Government after 12 years of Socialist rule. Eduardo Zaplana, the People's Party's candidate, became the second democratically elected President of the autonomous community


1995 Valencian regional election, Overview, Background
After 12 years of consecutive Socialist governments both in the Spanish national government and in the Valencian Community, the People's Party (PP) had managed to greatly increase its support from 1992–93, mostly at the cost of what remained of the Democratic and Social Centre (CDS).
