Bendodo Intensifies PP Push in Málaga, Demands Budget Date and Accuses Montero

The appearance signaled the PP’s turn to an Andalusian campaign message rooted in unresolved transport projects.

Overview

  • Speaking in Benalmádena, Elías Bendodo said the Sánchez government promised a Nueva Torrequebrada Cercanías stop before the 2023 locals but never delivered.
  • He cited other stalled or unmet commitments in Málaga, including the costly Costa del Sol toll, the proposed Tren Litoral and upgrades to Cercanías services.
  • He challenged Pedro Sánchez to set a day and time to present the 2026 national budget plan, criticizing two consecutive extensions of the 2023 accounts and alleging a constitutional lapse.
  • He labeled María Jesús Montero the president’s “delegate for independentism” and invoked the ERE case to argue that Andalusians “won’t forget,” presenting these claims as part of his party’s narrative.
  • He broadened his attack by portraying Sánchez as politically cornered and pointing to high-profile investigations affecting figures in the president’s circle, framing the remarks as the start of the PP’s Andalusian electoral course for 2026.
