Overview
- The June 6 Conferencia de Presidentes in Barcelona ended without agreements, leading PP regional leaders to publicly call for the dissolution of Parliament and early elections.
- Isabel Díaz Ayuso walked out when Basque and Catalan were used, a move some PP barons deemed a distraction yet which received explicit backing from party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
- Feijóo has urged participants to join Sunday’s march under the slogan “Mafia or Democracy,” promising a “total purge” of corrupt practices and seeking cross-party turnout.
- The PP is leveraging multiple corruption probes into Sánchez’s circle to amplify public dissatisfaction and solidify its narrative against the government.
- Sunday’s demonstration and the party’s stance on regional financing and language policy are set to deepen Spain’s political polarization and influence the race toward potential early elections.
