Overview
- On Sunday, November 15 the PSOE released a 113–114 page electoral programme and previewed parts of it at a rally in Alcorcón attended by more than 5,500 people.
- The document promises to enshrine the right to abortion and the automatic revaluation of pensions in the Constitution and presents those guarantees as central to Sánchez’s mandate.
- Housing is a headline pledge with a commitment to mobilise 1% of GDP each year, create a 100,000-unit state housing stock and tax large holders who keep homes empty or use them for tourist rentals.
- The programme ties specific implementation tools to its promises, including ICO-backed financing for affordable housing, a proposed new tax on tech owners and firms that fail to pay fair wages, a refundable child tax credit for low- and middle-income households, Civil Code changes to recognise friendship ties, a €19 billion rail maintenance envelope and a ‘Plan Sonríe’ dental aid.
- The rollout signals a high-stakes campaign test: Sánchez frames the November 29 election as a personal plebiscite and opponents are expected to contest the programme’s legal and fiscal proposals during the run-up to the vote.
