Feijóo Urges Spaniards to Vote PP for Genuine Political Change and Criticizes PSOE Corruption

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's Partido Popular (PP), delivered a pivotal speech at the XVII Congress of the Andalusian PP in Seville, stressing that true political change in Spain hinges on voters supporting the PP directly rather than relying on other parties. Reflecting on lessons from the 2023 elections, Feijóo warned against complacency after previous near victories, emphasizing the need for a decisive mandate to govern effectively against the incumbent PSOE government. He criticized the PSOE for corruption, dishonesty, and mismanagement, mentioning ongoing scandals such as the investigation of the Attorney General for alleged crimes, and called for a restoration of honesty, integrity, and decency in Spain’s political landscape (136284, 136290).

Feijóo underscored the importance of upcoming regional elections in areas like Extremadura and Castilla y León, asserting that every vote counts to secure the political renewal the country needs. He praised Juanma Moreno, who was re-elected for a fourth term as president of the Andalusian PP and Junta, as a model of effective and ethical governance that Spain could emulate nationally. Moreno expressed confidence in Feijóo’s leadership potential and the necessity of party unity to secure victories in future elections. Both leaders highlighted pressing issues such as the cancer screening crisis in Andalucía and condemned political misinformation and manipulation by opponents (136284).

Feijóo called on the Andalusian PP and the broader Spanish electorate to resist political resignation, invoking the region’s refusal to accept corrupt governance as a rallying cry for Spain’s broader political renewal. His message was clear: only by voting directly for the PP can Spaniards ensure a government that puts public service above personal gain and restores decency to politics (136290).
