Spanish opposition targets Sánchez government over housing and Ceuta

Spanish politics housing crisis Ceuta migration Alberto Núñez Feijóo Pedro Sánchez

Spanish opposition leaders are intensifying their criticism of the Pedro Sánchez administration across several key issues. Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the PP, has accused the government of being unable to manage the national housing crisis, suggesting that solving the problem requires the construction of over one million new homes. He specifically cited the recent eviction of an elderly woman as a failure of current policy.

Regarding the migration crisis in Ceuta, PP Secretary General Miguel Tellado has criticized the government for what he terms “maximum negligence” following the mass influx of migrants in July. While the PP has declined to formally trigger Article 102 of the Constitution to prosecute Sánchez for treason, they are deferring to the ongoing National Court investigation into the matter.

Additionally, the political landscape is being shaped by controversies surrounding former President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero’s jewelry and the legal proceedings involving Begoña Gómez. Public sentiment appears divided, with recent polling indicating that 82% of citizens blame Morocco for the Ceuta crisis, contrasting with the official government narrative.
