Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's Popular Party (PP), is shifting focus from the contentious issue of Catalan amnesty to broader social themes such as work-life balance and housing.
This strategic pivot aims to challenge the ruling Socialist Party (PSOE) on traditionally strong social issues.
Feijóo plans to introduce a new work-life balance law, proposing extended parental leave and state-funded early childhood education.
He seeks to engage business leaders and unions in shaping this legislation, emphasizing that parenthood should not be a 'heroic' endeavor.
Additionally, the PP is preparing to present its own housing law in Congress, opposing the current government's rental price caps.
While maintaining pressure on Catalan economic agreements, Feijóo is also engaging with international issues, such as Venezuela, to broaden the party's appeal.
This approach marks a new phase for the PP, aiming to present a comprehensive government plan while continuing its opposition to the PSOE.
