Overview
- PP leader María Guardiola accused Vox chief Santiago Abascal of sexist attitudes and a personal vendetta, labeled him a campaign “tourist,” and said she will only debate Vox’s regional candidate, Óscar Fernández Calle.
- Guardiola reiterated that voters know the limits she would impose on any post‑election arrangement with Vox and emphasized that her focus is negotiating with the party’s local candidate.
- Vox’s Fernández Calle said Guardiola “betrayed” a governing chance by calling snap elections without budget talks and asserted that Vox remains open to a pact if invited.
- Survey readings diverge, with ABC noting no poll shows a PP absolute majority and El Mundo citing a Sigma Dos panel that gives PP and Vox together more than 55% of the vote.
- Competing platforms sharpened as Guardiola promoted measures like “Yo repueblo,” “Vale Rural,” housing tax incentives, and support for digital nomads, while Vox pushed rejection of the EU Green Deal, tougher anti‑immigration policies, and defense of the Almaraz nuclear plant.
