Feijóo’s PP Congress Endorses Single-Party Government, Rejects Vox Ministers

The move seeks to solidify Feijóo’s leadership by isolating Vox during the run-up to Wednesday’s PSOE anti-corruption debate in Congress.

Overview

  • Alberto Núñez Feijóo was reelected party president at the PP’s 21st National Congress with over 99% support, cementing his leadership mandate.
  • Secretary General Miguel Tellado affirmed that Feijóo will form a monocolor government without Vox ministers and would rather call early elections than concede cabinet posts.
  • Regional PP branches in Catalonia, Andalusia and Galicia responded by exploring alliances: Catalonia urged Junts to back a no-confidence motion, Andalusia lambasted the PSOE’s handling of the Salazar scandal, and Galicia highlighted its prominent role at the congress.
  • Vox’s Comité de Acción Política accused Feijóo of repeating past mistakes by excluding its ministers while courting parties like Junts for parliamentary backing.
  • The PSOE announced a "potent" anti-corruption package set for Wednesday’s congressional plenary in an effort to shore up support during its leadership crisis.
