Spanish Socialists Slam PP's Shift Towards Far-Right

Published: 2024-07-08

The Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) has launched a scathing attack on the opposition People's Party (PP) led by Alberto Feijóo.

Government spokesperson Pilar Alegría accused the PP of mimicking far-right policies, calling it 'the party of insults, lies, and exaggeration.

' This criticism comes in the wake of recent French legislative elections, where a left-wing coalition secured an unexpected victory.

The results have reverberated through Spanish politics, with Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo hailing them as 'a great relief for most pro-Europeans.

' The political landscape in Spain appears increasingly polarized, with the PSOE positioning itself as a defender of social policies and European values against what it perceives as a rightward shift by the PP.
