Overview

• Pedro Sánchez praised the Gaza mobilizations as a principled stand that he says upholds Europe’s honor, a position that drew criticism from the PP and some European leaders.
• Alberto Núñez Feijóo publicly accused Sánchez of encouraging unrest and called the incidents ‘political violence,’ citing more than 23 injured police officers during the protests.
• Behind closed doors, Feijóo urged party leaders to avoid extremes, resist what he called a government ‘cortina de humo’ over Gaza, and refocus the opposition on alleged corruption cases.
• Internal PP strains surfaced as Isabel Díaz Ayuso used stark rhetoric while other barons pressed for a more measured line, leaving some cadres confused about strategy.
• Vox escalated with harsh language toward officials and announced legal actions against Sánchez and Madrid’s government delegate, as the PP filed parliamentary questions on protest policing with no sign of de-escalation.
