Feijóo does take out all the artillery against Sánchez and accuses: "The plot operated from within the Government"

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's opposition People's Party (PP), has launched a strong attack against Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez during his address to Congress. The speech comes just two days after the Supreme Court handed down a harsh sentence against José Luis Ábalos, Sánchez's former minister and close ally, who was found guilty of corruption. Feijóo accused Sánchez of being responsible for a 'criminal network' operating within the government and criticized his credibility in fighting corruption. He argued that Sánchez's attempts to show commitment to anti-corruption measures—such as past plans introduced after scandals involving his wife and other allies—are insufficient. Feijóo emphasized that the simplest path would be for Sánchez to avoid wrongdoing altogether, suggesting that continued legal scrutiny of the government is inevitable unless he steps down. The PP believes Sánchez will try to deflect blame by referencing past corruption cases involving the PP itself, such as Gürtel and Púnica, as well as recent controversies involving regional leaders like Madrid’s Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

The article discusses Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's opposition Popular Party (PP), calling for a historic electoral result in Catalonia to position the region as a 'key' to oust Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez from power. During his speech at the PP Catalan congress, Feijóo emphasized the need for the PP to secure 12 seats in Congress, matching their historical record, to ensure a political change in Spain.

Feijóo rejects the debate on the motion of censure: If it had been submitted months ago, Sánchez would have been revalidated

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, president of Spain's Popular Party (PP), criticized Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's government after a court sentenced José Luis Ábalos, a former close ally of Sánchez and leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), to 24 years in prison for crimes including organized crime, bribery, misappropriation, and abuse of influence. Feijóo questioned why Sánchez had not resigned following this conviction and suggested that other individuals involved in ongoing legal cases against Sánchez's inner circle should confess their alleged crimes to receive reduced sentences, citing the example of businessman Víctor de Aldama, who received a lighter sentence for cooperating with authorities in the 'masks case.' The PP argued that Aldama’s reduced sentence was justified under current law and aligned with previous Supreme Court rulings. Meanwhile, Vox expressed cautious approval of the leniency shown to Aldama but avoided taking a firm stance.

There are two Feijóo, one anti-system

The article discusses the political strategy of Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain’s People’s Party (PP), who has shifted from opposing Pedro Sánchez to questioning the entire electoral system. The focus is on his use of anti-system rhetoric, particularly regarding the nationalization of the grandchildren of exiles, which he frames as an attempt to manipulate election results. This tactic aligns with a broader pattern within the PP of using allegations of fraud and corruption to undermine the government and discredit the electoral process. The article highlights how Feijóo employs both systemic and anti-systemic discourse, positioning himself as a potential president while simultaneously challenging democratic norms. It also notes the strategic implications of this approach for the PP’s position in Spanish politics.

Bias read (Conservative): The article frames the PP’s actions as legitimate challenges to perceived electoral fraud and systemic corruption, while portraying the government as authoritarian and manipulative.

Feijóo says Sánchez will incur insumision if he loses the confidence of Congress and does not call elections

The Supreme Court's ruling in the Mask Mandate case has significantly impacted Spanish politics, with severe convictions handed down to former minister José Luis Ábalos and his trusted advisor Koldo García. The ruling has weakened an already fragile legislative period. Alberto Núñez Feijóo of the People's Party (PP) stated that if Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez loses the confidence of Congress and does not call early elections, he would be committing 'insubordination.' Feijóo emphasized the need for urgent general elections and placed political responsibility on Sánchez for granting power to Ábalos and later reappointing him despite legal issues. The opposition believes this new judicial development has created a difficult situation.

Bias read (Conservative): The article frames the Supreme Court ruling as a definitive end to the current government's evasion of accountability, emphasizing the PP's stance that Sánchez is politically responsible for the convictions.

When Feijóo defended in Argentina in 2022 the "law of grandchildren" that he now considers an "electoral pucherazo"

The article discusses Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain’s opposition Popular Party (PP), criticizing the Law of Democratic Memory and accusing Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of creating two million and a half new voters through a supposed 'electoral pucherazo' (vote-buying scheme). The piece highlights Feijóo’s past support for a law granting nationality to grandchildren of Spanish exiles abroad, which he previously promoted during a 2022 visit to Argentina. Current Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) ministers, including Félix Bolaños and Óscar Puente, have publicly endorsed Feijóo’s earlier stance, while critics like José Muñoz accuse him of using this issue for 'electoral engineering'.

Bias read (Center): While the article presents both Feijóo’s historical position and current PSOE ministers’ alignment with it, it does not overtly favor one side over the other.

Aznar calls for a "national majority" to oust Sánchez and avoid "a change of system"

Former Spanish Prime Minister José María Aznar has called for a 'national majority' in upcoming general elections to remove current President Pedro Sánchez and prevent what he describes as an ongoing 'change of system.' He urged PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo to build a broad, centrist coalition capable of uniting both right and left wings around a historically significant reconstruction agenda. Aznar emphasized that these elections would be the most important in recent democratic history, arguing they determine whether Spain’s constitutional nation and legal equality survive or collapse. He described the task as difficult but essential, insisting that such a majority is necessary or else the effort will fail.

Bias read (Conservative): The article frames Aznar's call for a 'national majority' and his warning about a potential 'change of system' as a conservative push to preserve the existing political order.
