Overview

• Ayuso said “el Rey reina pero no gobierna” and argued the monarch should stick to conciliatory roles after Felipe VI urged Israel at the UN to stop the “masacre” in Gaza.
• Ayuso intensified her migration rhetoric, blaming what she called border “descontrol absoluto” for straining services and saying people “deambulan sin oficio ni beneficio,” which she claimed harms coexistence.
• The Sánchez government condemned the PP’s stance as “xenófobo,” with minister Félix Bolaños warning that adopting Vox’s discourse “acelera el sorpaso” of the far-right party over the conservatives.
• The PP’s platform, endorsed in Murcia, previews an October plan featuring a points-based visa, tighter access to some benefits, and other measures tied to cultural integration and labor needs.
• Internal PP tensions surfaced as several regional leaders labeled Israel’s actions in Gaza “genocidios,” diverging from Ayuso’s staunchly pro-Israel line, while she also accused the government of waging a “guerra psicológica” against her.
