Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the Partido Popular (PP), has acknowledged ongoing discussions with Vox to secure a three-fifths majority in the Senado, the upper house of the Spanish Parliament. The aim of these talks is to prevent the current government, led by Pedro Sánchez, from gaining full control of the Senate. Feijóo emphasized that the PP is acting with “statecraft” and is seeking reciprocity from Vox in these negotiations. While details remain discreet, the PP suggests a deal is possible if conditions are met. These negotiations focus on limiting the influence of the “sanchismo” – a reference to the political approach of Pedro Sánchez – within the Senado. The parties are navigating a delicate situation, seeking an agreement that aligns with their respective interests. The outcome will significantly impact the balance of power in the Spanish legislative branch, particularly concerning the Senate’s ability to influence government policies.
