Feijóo Pressures Sánchez Amid Corruption Claims

Published: 2024-11-21

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's Popular Party (PP), has intensified his criticism of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, following revelations by businessman Víctor de Aldama.

Feijóo claims the government is mired in corruption and has called for Sánchez to resign, citing a lack of decency.

Despite lacking the necessary votes to oust the government, Feijóo has expressed willingness to lead a motion of no confidence if any of Sánchez's coalition partners decide to withdraw their support.

He has specifically urged parties like PNV and Junts to reconsider their backing of a government he describes as "weak and under suspicion.

" Feijóo's statements come amid ongoing political tension, as he seeks to capitalize on the allegations against Sánchez to push for a new political era in Spain.
