Overview
- PP and Vox are set to meet Monday to begin negotiations on forming a new Junta de Extremadura government.
- Santiago Abascal has conditioned support for María Guardiola’s investiture on securing a vice-presidency and several ministries proportional to Vox’s vote share.
- Guardiola and PP leaders have signaled readiness to offer Vox seats to ensure the party assumes governing responsibilities, echoing Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s message on electoral wear from management.
- Vox indicates the main hurdle will be the program, prioritizing tax cuts, rolling back parts of the EU Green Deal within regional competence, tougher immigration measures, and cuts to equality-program spending.
- Separately, ex-minister Jordi Sevilla launched the Socialdemocracia21 manifesto urging a course change in the PSOE, underscoring the broader national stakes of the Extremadura talks.
