Overview
- The PSOE has publicly accepted a private-broadcaster cara a cara between Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo on 16 November and a four-way debate on RTVE on 26 November.
- The PSOE conditions its participation in the private 16 November debate on the RTVE four-way taking place and says it will not allow any veto of the public broadcaster.
- The PP has rejected holding the four-way on RTVE and insists the multi-candidate debate be hosted by Atresmedia, leaving broadcaster allocation unresolved.
- Pedro Sánchez is scheduled to appear on RTVE’s La Revuelta in Madrid this week, a move that highlights the PSOE’s push to use public TV for major campaign exposure.
- The dispute echoes 2023 when Feijóo skipped an RTVE four-way, and the outcome will affect which channels can show debates, how signals are shared, and voters’ direct access to candidate exchanges.
