Overview

• The PP unveiled stricter proposals that include a points‑based visa system, returns of unaccompanied minors when feasible, and tougher access to social benefits and long‑term residency.
• Vox accuses the PP of copying its platform and calls the shift a stunt driven by polls, arguing the conservatives would not apply the measures in government.
• A Cemop summer barometer for Murcia keeps the PP first but shows Vox overtaking the PSOE for second place, with researchers linking July’s Torre Pacheco incidents to abrupt voter shifts.
• A national Opina360/Antena 3 poll estimates PSOE at 129–130 seats, PP at 111 and Vox at 74, a result that would still give PP+Vox a parliamentary majority.
• PP leaders are weighing contingency plans for early regional elections in Extremadura and Aragón if 2026 budgets fail, as Vox maintains tough budget demands yet avoids explicitly urging election calls; Aragón’s Jorge Azcón says he aims to pass new accounts.
