Overview

• Alberto Núñez Feijóo criticized Óscar Puente's conduct as lacking “education and courtesy” and said a minister who behaved that way would be dismissed in a PP government.
• Feijóo added that “in the Spain to come, neither Pedro Sánchez as president nor Óscar Puente as minister,” framing the episode as a standard for political conduct.
• The shared footage shows two men with microphones approaching Puente as he arrived at a parliamentary building, where he said “Don’t touch me” and pushed one microphone while being asked about alleged PSOE cash envelopes.
• Puente replied on X within an hour, calling Feijóo “miserable” and citing the “Ventorro” episode involving Valencia leader Carlos Mazón during deadly floods that left 229 people dead.
• Defending his response, Puente accused Feijóo’s camp of harassment and referred to “your paid fascists,” and reports noted Feijóo had not responded to the minister’s message at the time of publication.
