During the LXXIII Festa do Albariño in Cambados, Galicia, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the Partido Popular, emphasized the necessity for a political climate characterized by purpose rather than spectacle. He articulated his vision for a Spain that fosters respect, constructive dialogue, and serious work in political affairs, instead of the prevailing conflict and division.
Feijóo highlighted key challenges requiring attention, including the need to support rural communities and create opportunities for the youth. He remarked, “We need more agreement and less calculation, more serious work and less theater” to foster a joyful political atmosphere. He humorously addressed criticisms stemming from his earlier comments about vacations, suggesting that critics might benefit from enjoying an albariño and taking a rest.
This call for a more respectful and coherent political discourse comes amid tensions managed by his party and reflects Feijóo’s ongoing commitment to galvanize constructive discussions. Additionally, he responded indirectly to a jab from Óscar López of the PSOE, reinforcing his focus on improving Spain’s political environment. Feijóo also presided over the festival's ceremonial events, underscoring the importance of cultural heritage alongside his political discourse.
