Overview
- The PP confirmed Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo as number two and Borja Sémper as number three on the Madrid list in announcements made Thursday, marking the most visible changes to Génova’s ticket.
- Feijóo’s reshuffle intentionally mixes hardline voices and experienced regional administrators to create a group the party says could staff a future government, a strategy that is already forcing regional executives to reorganize.
- The Junta Electoral Central issued a formal reminder to Borja Sémper after he solicited votes before the campaign began and asked the broadcaster not to air the segment.
- Local placements have provoked pushback from opponents: PSOE critics attacked the proposal to move Toledo mayor Carlos Velázquez to the Congress list while Zamora produced a surprise candidate in Montserrat Chimeno Viñas.
- Parallel to the list finalizations, Feijóo has kept talks with Vox over reciprocal Senate candidacies open and left‑of‑centre parties have denied any wider pact with PSOE to withdraw congressional lists beyond the Teruel case.
