Overview
- On June 26, 2026 PP secretary Miguel Tellado publicly argued that secessionism is no longer Spain’s main threat and described Sánchez’s government as a criminal organisation to justify closer ties with Junts.
- Junts and Vox backed a non‑binding PP motion in Congress asking Sánchez to resign and submit to a question of confidence, and PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has signalled he may pursue a motion of censure that needs Junts’ votes.
- The PP’s Catalan branch, led by Alejandro Fernández and recently re‑elected at its congress, firmly rejects any pact with independentists and is publicly clashing with the national leadership.
- Practical arithmetic and policy conflict limit the plan: Vox supports outlawing pro‑independence parties, which makes a stable Junts–PP–Vox majority effectively unworkable.
- The shift marks a strategic recalibration for the PP after years of hardline anti‑independence stances, risks deepening internal divisions and could reshape right‑wing politics depending on whether Feijóo formally files a censure and how Junts responds.
