PP and Vox Strengthen Political Cooperation with Shared Policy Proposals and Local Measures

In late February 2026, Spain's Popular Party (PP) outlined key policy proposals aimed at forging stronger cooperation with the right-wing party Vox, while joint measures at the local government level illustrate this alliance in action.

The PP's proposals focus on significant tax cuts for families, workers, and entrepreneurs, arguing that the current fiscal system overtaxes Spaniards relative to public services. They emphasize a need to support farmers and fishermen against excessive regulation and highlight opposition to climate policies perceived to damage employment and raise energy costs, advocating for a balanced energy mix including nuclear power. The PP also commits to reducing bureaucracy for businesses, encouraging family growth through fiscal incentives, and upholding parental rights in education against ideological indoctrination.

Critically, the PP's agenda includes a broad condemnation of all forms of violence, including domestic and gender-based violence, and intentions to limit subsidies to those genuinely in need. On immigration, they criticize current government handling of irregular migration and stress stricter border controls to ensure legal compliance.

At the local level, this collaboration between PP and Vox is embodied in recent policy decisions such as the ban on burka and niqab in municipal spaces in Lorca, Murcia, reflecting the parties’ shared stance on cultural integration and security. Furthermore, the PP plans to amend laws on migrant control to prevent criminality, reinforcing its tough stance on border security.

This cooperation occurs amid a broader political context including Pedro Sánchez’s recent announcement to declassify 23-F coup documents and ongoing debates around police protections and governance. The PP criticizes Sánchez’s administration for inadequate explanations on governance and has vocally supported police protests against Interior Minister Marlaska.

Together, these developments illustrate a strategic alignment between PP and Vox, combining national policy proposals with coordinated local governance initiatives, primarily centered on fiscal conservatism, social order, and immigration control. The parties appear to be consolidating their shared political agenda ahead of future elections, signaling a more unified right-wing front in Spain.
