POLITICO.eu • • world
Key Points:
- Spain’s conservative People’s Party (PP) launched its electoral manifesto ahead of the Nov. 29 snap election, with polls indicating a probable coalition with the far-right Vox party.
- The PP plans a hardline immigration policy including deportations for certain offenses, bans on mass regularizations, and mandatory integration agreements for foreign nationals renewing residence permits.
- The party aims to extend licenses for five nuclear plants, relax climate regulations, and reduce energy taxes, signaling a shift away from strict environmental policies.
- On foreign policy, the PP seeks a stable, predictable approach aligned with European consensus, improved U.S. relations, and a balanced stance on Morocco and Algeria without endorsing Sahrawi self-determination.
- The manifesto includes building 1 million homes, repealing rent caps, speeding up evictions of squatters, and overhauling judicial and media institutions to reduce political influence and increase accountability.
