In a heated session of the Spanish Congress, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez faced strong criticism from opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo.

Feijóo accused Sánchez of authoritarian tendencies, likening his governance to that of Franco, due to recent government proposals including media registration and the repeal of certain religious offense laws.

Sánchez countered by highlighting Spain's positive economic indicators and recent international appointments, urging the opposition to abandon their negative stance.

The session also touched on diplomatic tensions with Venezuela and ongoing debates over regional financing and immigration policies.

Despite the opposition's attacks, Sánchez emphasized his government's commitment to dialogue and agreement, particularly in negotiations with Catalonia.
