Meme of the day: how Feijóo’s phrase about taxes and services spread across social networks
Alberto Núñez Feijóo once again found himself at the center of Spain’s media agenda—this time not because of another political statement, but thanks to an ambitious plan already being called the most discussed in recent months. The leader of the Partido Popular did not just announce a figure capable of impressing even the most skeptical observers—300 billion euros for infrastructure—but did so with such determination that his speech in Getafe immediately became a topic of discussion in both political and social circles.
This time, Feijóo did not limit himself to generalities. In public, he broke down the current situation step by step: from roads and railways to energy and housing. His remark that Spain “collects taxes like a northern country, but provides services like a third-rate one” quickly spread across social networks and became the meme of the day. But behind this striking comparison lies a much more serious nerve — accusations directed at Pedro Sánchez’s government, which, according to Feijóo, is failing at basic tasks and is spending its efforts on “propaganda instead of real action.”
Criticism and accusations
Feijóo paid particular attention to housing policy. His speech was laced with irony regarding Sánchez’s many promises: how many times, he said, have the authorities promised new apartments, how many forums have they held, how much money has been spent on advertising — and yet, according to him, there is no result. At that moment, the audience clearly perked up: the public reacted to every comment, and Feijóo himself did not hide his irritation, stressing that “it’s time to stop deceiving people.”
However, he did not stop there. Feijóo accused the government of being unable to solve the housing crisis without new budgets and reform of urban planning legislation. In his view, current measures only worsen the situation: the housing supply is falling, the problem of ‘occupation’ remains unresolved, and economic policy does not allow people to break out of the cycle of low wages and instability.
Tragedy and symbols
In his speech, Feijóo did not ignore the tragedy in Adamuz, recalling the 46 victims and stressing that the state must not forget such events. He stated openly that the government should have taken responsibility, apologized, and even resigned. For Feijóo, this episode became a symbol of the overall decline of public services and a reason for a new wave of criticism towards the authorities.
His speech conveyed the idea that infrastructure problems are not just “technical failures,” but a sign of a systemic crisis. Feijóo linked this to corruption, hinting that taxpayers’ money should go to real needs, not “suspicious contracts” and “million-euro kickbacks.”
Ten steps and new promises
At the end, Feijóo presented his ‘ten-step’ plan: from tax breaks for businesses and investment in science to reforming the contract system and a national water strategy. He placed particular emphasis on the urgent need to modernize access to power grids, so the country does not end up in an ‘energy dead end.’
This set of initiatives was presented not as a dry list, but as a personal challenge to the current government. Feijóo is clearly counting on his proposals becoming not only a topic for political debate, but also a new rallying point for those tired of empty promises.
The Spanish media is already debating whether this plan will become an actual turning point in the election race or remain just another bold statement. One thing is clear: Feijóo has once again drawn attention to himself, and his criticism and ambitions have become the top topic of discussion in the country’s political and social circles.
