Alberto Núñez Feijóo political activities and influence

Overview

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain’s Partido Popular (PP), has initiated a political project focused on the ‘national reconstruction’ of the country’s social contract. His platform includes restoring institutional independence for the judiciary, reducing taxes for the middle class, and tightening immigration controls. To prepare for the 2027 general elections, the PP is undergoing significant organizational restructuring, including approximately twenty regional and provincial congresses. Feijóo is also expanding his influence within the European People's Party (EPP) through close cooperation with President Manfred Weber. Following his intensified opposition to housing policies and his call for early elections, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has officially announced a general election for November 29. In response, Feijóo is facing scrutiny over the feasibility of his fiscal strategy; critics, such as economist Carlos Rodriguez Braun, have questioned how the PP intends to fund its proposed tax cuts. In Ceuta, Feijóo has also raised concerns regarding the integrity of postal voting, requesting ‘additional measures’ from the Central Electoral Board (JEC) to ensure security. As the November 29 elections approach, the PP has formalized its campaign leadership, appointing Miguel Tellado as Secretary General, supported by deputy director Marta Varela and spokesperson Ester Muñoz. During a major precampaign rally at the IFEMA convention center in Madrid, Feijóo proposed a platform built on ‘order, security, and prosperity,’ aiming for a ‘total, serene, and decisive’ change. Positioning himself as a candidate of stability, he stated, ‘I do not come from the saunas or the sewers,’ contrasting his leadership with the current administration. He also demanded clarity regarding alleged actions taken against Judge Beatriz Biedma during her investigation into David Sánchez. During the IFEMA event, local leaders also voiced regional grievances.
