Overview
- Campaigning in Puebla de la Calzada, María Guardiola pledged to continue rural programs such as Yo Repueblo and Vale Rural, expand housing incentives, and increase the Municipal Cooperation Fund.
- Vox candidate Óscar Fernández Calle said the party will not “give away” a single vote and centered its negotiating stance on 200 proposals, while alleging “absolute abandonment” of farmers under the current administration.
- Guardiola said she wants to debate Vox’s regional candidate rather than Santiago Abascal, whom she labeled a “tourist,” and she maintained that voters know the limits she will not cross in any pact.
- Recent polling cited by El Mundo’s Sigma Dos indicates PP and Vox together exceed 55% of the vote, yet surveys do not show a PP absolute majority, pointing to likely talks after the 21 December election.
- In neighboring Aragón, PSOE leader Pilar Alegría offered PP president Jorge Azcón votes to approve the 2026 spending cap and negotiate budgets to reduce reliance on Vox.
