Feijóo acepta un debate cara a cara con Sánchez y otro a cuatro con el resto de candidatos

El PSOE asegura que acudirá a todos, pero critica que no le corresponde al PP fijar la fecha de estos encuentros

Feijóo acepta un debate cara a cara con Sánchez y otro a cuatro con el resto de candidatos

Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo will engage in a one-on-one debate, while four-way discussions will take place with the main party candidates and a session with the spokespeople of the parliamentary forces. The People's Party (PP) has agreed to participate in these television interviews, and has also opened the door for a possible interview with the conservative leader on Spain's state-owned TV network, in preparation for the upcoming general elections on November 29th.

In a statement, the PP acknowledges the invitation from Mediaset for the one-on-one debate with Sánchez, which is set for November 16th, the first Monday of the electoral campaign. Feijóo also intends to attend the four-way debate among the candidates of the four parties with the most parliamentary representation on Atresmedia, and proposes this event take place on November 23rd.

The acceptance of this format, which the popular president previously rejected during the last elections, marks a shift in strategy compared to the previous campaign.
