Sánchez and Feijóo Clash in Heated Congress Session

Published: 2024-09-18

In a heated session of the Spanish Congress, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo clashed over the government's democratic reform plans.

Feijóo accused Sánchez of implementing a "censorship plan" reminiscent of Franco's era, criticizing his approach to media control and governance.

Sánchez defended his administration, highlighting positive economic forecasts and urging the opposition to cooperate for Spain's benefit.

The session also saw tensions rise over immigration policies and the potential alliance between the PP, Vox, and Junts, which ERC's Gabriel Rufián warned could threaten Sánchez's government.

Despite the confrontations, Sánchez emphasized his commitment to dialogue and completing the legislative term.
