Overview
- In a regional interview, Vox leader Santiago Abascal said the PP might have to change its Extremadura candidate to reach a post‑election deal after the 21 December vote.
- Speaking in Hervás at her first campaign event, María Guardiola rejected any pressure, called the insinuation "machista," and said Abascal neither knows nor prioritizes Extremadura, predicting he will depart after the campaign.
- Guardiola launched her campaign with wildfire crews and highlighted the Junta’s approval for 138 Infoex firefighter driver positions effective 1 December.
- PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo urged a “useful vote” for a stable government, pledged to abstain so the election winner can govern, and asked that the PP be allowed to govern if it wins.
- Coverage cites polls indicating the PP may fall short of an absolute majority, positioning Vox as a potential kingmaker, while Guardiola said she will consider proposals that improve the region and criticized Vox’s regional candidate as absent.
