5 ways Spain’s conservatives plan to put the country on a new course
Spain's conservative People's Party has detailed its electoral platform ahead of the November 29 vote, centered on a pledge to build one million new homes. The program also proposes merging the minimum vital income and other subsidies into a single activation income tied to job-seeking requirements, tightening border controls, and slowing the pace of climate targets. Party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo frames the agenda as a shift in national course, though critics note alignment with Vox's "national priority" rhetoric on immigration and nationality withdrawal for serious crimes.

Spain's PP unveils platform: 1M homes, tighter borders, slower climate targets
Spain's conservative People's Party has detailed its electoral platform ahead of the November 29 vote, centered on a pledge to build one million new homes. The program also proposes merging the minimum vital income and other subsidies into a single activation income tied to job-seeking requirements, tightening border controls, and slowing the pace of climate targets. Party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo frames the agenda as a shift in national course, though critics note alignment with Vox's "national priority" rhetoric on immigration and nationality withdrawal for serious crimes.
Why it matters
The PP leads polls for the snap election called by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, making its platform the likely blueprint for Spain's next government. Housing scarcity dominates voter concerns, while immigration and welfare reform reflect a rightward shift in European politics. The climate target rollback would mark a departure from Spain's recent green transition leadership.
