Spain electoral debates: PP and PSOE reach agreement
The Popular Party (PP) and the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) have reached an agreement to organize upcoming electoral debates through the Television Academy. This decision follows weeks of negotiations and disagreements regarding whether the debates should be hosted by public broadcaster RTVE or private media groups like Atresmedia and Mediaset.
The agreed schedule includes a head-to-head debate between Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo on November 16. A second debate, involving the four or five main national candidates, is scheduled for November 26, shortly before the general elections on November 29.
The PSOE had previously insisted on the involvement of the public broadcaster, while the PP had expressed concerns regarding the perceived political bias of RTVE. By utilizing the Television Academy, both parties aim to ensure a neutral platform for the televised encounters.
