Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has continued high-profile media and political activities during the pre-campaign period for the general elections. Following a record-breaking interview on RTVE’s ‘La Revuelta’, Sánchez is scheduled for a new interview on the recently launched television channel La Séptima on November 9. This appearance, part of the program ‘Última hora’, is set to coincide with Vox leader Santiago Abascal’s appearance on ‘La Revuelta’, creating direct prime-time competition. The channel’s launch on November 5 saw significant viewership, reaching nearly five million unique viewers on its first day.

In Valencia, the region has become a focal point for national maneuvering. Following a PSOE rally at the El Cabanyal municipal sports center, Madrid Community President Isabel Díaz Ayuso conducted an unannounced visit to the Cabanyal Market, where some residents reportedly booed the delegation. In response to the heckling, members of the PP delegation were observed playing the Spanish national anthem at a high volume. Ayuso later held a rally at the Mercado de Colón alongside Valencia Mayor María José Catalá and Generalitat President Juanfran Pérez Llorca. During her speech, Ayuso called for a “restart” of Spain and accused Sánchez of being an “occupier of power,” alleging the central government is attempting to “dismember” the country and “Catalanize” various regions. In response, PSOE candidate Pilar Bernabé criticized Ayuso as a “Milei of AliExpress,” accusing her of promoting the privatization of healthcare and education.

In Tarragona, Sánchez has campaigned for left-wing mobilization to defend public services and women’s rights against a “crumbling” far-right wave, while also emphasizing Spanish sovereignty. Meanwhile, Vox Secretary General Ignacio Garriga has held campaign events in Barcelona and Figueres, accusing the administration of corruption within the Ministry of Transport and blaming socialist policies for issues in healthcare and public security.
