Feijóo Courts Young Voters at EU Forum With Pitch on Housing, Immigration and Deregulation

The speech set the tone for the PP’s campaign kickoff on Sunday ahead of the December 21 vote.

Overview

  • Speaking at the Foro por el Futuro de la UE on November 15, Feijóo fielded questions before roughly 600 young attendees.
  • He pledged tax relief to help people under 35 buy a first home and urged prioritizing new housing construction over other public works.
  • He cast immigration as a principal EU challenge, saying newcomers must respect European laws, rights and way of life, with cultural proximity cited as an advantage for integration.
  • He promised to restore Spain’s influence abroad, emphasizing ties with Hispanoamérica and the transatlantic link while faulting the Sánchez government’s foreign posture.
  • He criticized what he called the EU’s overregulation, urging deregulation, greater production and innovation, reduced external dependence, and warned against a resigned, state‑dependent youth and parties that question democracy.
