Spain prepares for November 29 general elections FAST-MOVING
Political parties in Spain are intensifying their pre-campaign activities ahead of the general elections scheduled for November 29. Major political figures are presenting their candidate lists and defining their core campaign pillars.
In Granada, PP candidate Jorge Saavedra has demanded infrastructure investments, specifically regarding water management and rail connections, while PSOE leader Pedro Sánchez has promised to reform the Constitution to protect abortion rights. In Galicia, the PP has announced its candidates for Lugo, featuring Francisco Conde at the head of the list for Congress.
