Feijóo Faces Scrutiny Over Family Contracts

Published: 2024-08-26

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's Popular Party (PP), is under pressure to address allegations regarding over 300 contracts awarded to a company linked to his sister.

The PSOE has called for Feijóo to clarify these dealings in Congress, accusing the PP of fostering a culture of misinformation.

Feijóo, in turn, has accused the PSOE of using these allegations to distract from their own corruption issues, particularly those involving the family of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

He insists he has nothing to hide and challenges the PSOE to examine similar contracts in regions they govern.

This political clash highlights ongoing tensions between Spain's major parties, with both sides trading accusations of corruption and misconduct.
