Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the leader of the People’s Party (PP), has urged for an assessment of support from parliamentary groups towards the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) following the incarceration of Santos Cerdán, the party’s former secretary. Feijóo declared the situation surrounding Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as ‘unsustainable’ and indicated that PSOE’s current partners pose an obstacle to addressing issues of public concern.

The PP intends to sound out support from other parties, while stating firmly that it will not engage in discussions with Bildu. Sources from the party have clarified that their outreach plan is simply to listen and assess the political landscape, rather than to make demands.

As the political situation intensifies, the PP holds a critical stance against Sánchez’s coalition, warning that continued support for the government could damage prospects for addressing key issues in Spain. Feijóo has faced repeated calls from Vox to initiate a motion of censure against Sánchez but insists he lacks the votes necessary for a productive outcome.

The political landscape is fraught with uncertainty as Feijóo prepares for potential elections. His recent call for party realignment is timed with ongoing corruption concerns involving the PSOE, asserting that Sánchez’s government may be on borrowed time as pressure mounts from within the broader political milieu.
