From Gibraltar and ‘national priority’ to housing, green energy and Ceuta: What a PP/Vox government would mean for Spain and its foreign residents
With no national manifestos yet, the best guide is the four regional pacts the PP has signed with Vox in Extremadura, Aragon, Castilla y Leon and Andalucia.
Spain's government has been dealing with a housing crisis, with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announcing new decrees to address the issue after parliament rejected similar measures. This came after nationwide protests, including an outbreak of violence in Barcelona.
The opposition parties PP and Vox have signed regional pacts in Extremadura, Aragon, Castilla y Leon, and Andalucia, which may indicate their policy direction if they were to form a government.
The current government's focus on housing is part of a broader set of concerns, with green energy also likely to be a priority. The PP and Vox's policies on these and other issues, such as Gibraltar and Ceuta, would likely shape Spain's relations with its foreign residents and neighboring countries.
