Feijóo confirms negotiations with Vox for Senate lists: “If they are up to the task, so is the PP”

The People's Party (PP) and Vox are in negotiations to strengthen their position in the Senate ahead of the November 29 elections. The goal is to achieve a more comfortable majority against the joint ticket of the PSOE and Frente Amplio. PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has suggested that Vox may not run in certain constituencies in exchange for PP ceding senatorial seats allocated by regional governments.

This would allow the PP to control three-fifths of the Senate and make appointments without needing a pact with the PSOE.
