PP Shifts Stance on Housing and Pensions

Published: 2025-01-30

The leader of Spain's Popular Party (PP), Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has defended his party's decision to support the government's new omnibus decree, which includes measures like pension revaluation and public transport subsidies.

Despite initial opposition, the PP justified its vote as a move to prioritize pensioners, Valencians, and public transport users over political disagreements.

Feijóo criticized both the Socialist Party (PSOE) and Vox, rejecting their "lessons" on governance.

During a housing-focused event, he unveiled a proposal to expedite housing construction and ensure affordable housing.

However, the PP's stance has sparked internal debates between its moderate and hardline factions, with moderates emphasizing the importance of practical governance over opposition tactics.
