Feijóo‑led PP campaign in Spain

Entities: Alberto Núñez Feijóo · Vox (Spain) · People's Party (Spain) · Pedro Sánchez

Overview

People's Party (PP) leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo intensified his pre‑election drive in July 2026, touring major cities and promoting a fiscal platform that mixed tax cuts, reduced bureaucracy and new social measures such as Ley CUME and a law protecting unborn children. In a balance speech on 22 July – the third anniversary of the 2023 general election – he labelled Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez the “señor X” of systemic corruption, singled out the Moncloa palace as the “zero zone” of scandal, and linked investigations like the Plus Ultra loan case and alleged illicit commissions involving former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero to Sánchez’s government. He pledged a “clean‑up” of Spanish politics and hinted at a possible PP‑Vox coalition, prompting sharp reactions from PSOE ministers and Sánchez himself.

A week later analysts noted that despite the aggressive rhetoric, PP support had stalled or slipped since mid‑2023, and internal critics called for a refreshed team and a stronger public profile for Feijóo. Sánchez announced he would not call an early election, leaving the timetable to the opposition and Vox. The emerging picture is one of a high‑profile campaign confronting leadership doubts, coalition speculation and an uncertain electoral outlook ahead of the 2027 vote.
