In Spain, a political clash is unfolding between the ruling coalition and the opposition Popular Party (PP) over social policies.

The PP, which has gained significant power since 2023, is proposing a new Law of Conciliation to extend parental leave and offer free early childhood education.

However, the government accuses the PP of inconsistency, highlighting past votes against similar measures and criticizing their regional policies for cutting social services.

The government argues that the PP's proposals contradict their actions in regions they govern, such as rejecting state funds for public childcare in Andalusia.

This ideological battle is crucial as both parties vie for influence ahead of upcoming elections, with the government emphasizing its social policy achievements and the PP attempting to reshape its image with more socially-oriented proposals.
