The audit would begin at the first Council of Ministers of a government led by the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo said. It would examine “everything they have touched and looted”, he said, in a statement translated from Spanish. The rally took place in Santiago de Compostela on 14 November, during the campaign for Spain’s 29 November 2026 election. Feijóo, who led Galicia’s regional government for 13 years, presented the audit as an initial commitment for a PP administration.
At the rally in Santiago de Compostela, Feijóo accused the Ministry of Transport of embodying eight years of “corruption, machismo, incompetence and arrogance”, from former minister José Luis Ábalos to current minister Óscar Puente, under Pedro Sánchez. He said failures in the ministry had cost money and lives. These were his accusations, not findings established in the speech. The focus on transport came amid investigations surrounding Ábalos, his former adviser Koldo García and businessman Víctor de Aldama. The Koldo affair became public in February 2024, when Spain’s Guardia Civil detained García over alleged irregularities in pandemic-era medical-supply contracts. The inquiry centered on face-mask supplier Soluciones de Gestión and Aldama’s alleged role as an intermediary. Investigators examined possible commissions linked to contracts awarded during Ábalos’s tenure.
Democrata reported that Spain’s Supreme Court convicted Ábalos, García and Aldama in the principal case on 22 June 2026, imposing prison terms of 24 years and three months, 19 years and eight months, and four and a half years, respectively. The reported offenses included criminal organisation, bribery, embezzlement and influence peddling. Separate proceedings concerning mask contracts and alleged cash payments remained before the National Court. In a related investigation, Anti-Corruption prosecutors linked Cristian Abel Corvillo Aguilar, described as Sánchez’s former driver, to a network involving rail and road contracts worth nearly €36 million.
Feijóo promised that a PP government would build one million homes and place housing policy under a vice-presidency. He said housing had risen from 15th place to the leading concern among Spaniards, blaming government incompetence and neglect. The source material provides no survey or other evidence for that ranking. An October survey by Spain’s public pollster, the Centre for Sociological Research (CIS), found that nearly 56% of respondents named housing among the country’s three main problems. Feijóo’s proposed housing measures also included simplifying planning procedures, offering tax relief to young buyers and repealing the outgoing government’s housing decree. The PSOE has emphasized tenant protections and public and affordable housing.
His wider attack focused on what he described as a government that pits Spaniards against one another to distract them from its use of public money. He pledged to replace corruption with clean government and said there would be no pardons for those responsible. He also criticised the handling of cases involving women, referring to public money paid to women he said had been treated as commodities and to a faulty bracelet system that he said exposed women to their aggressors.
Feijóo said he would choose ministers with management experience beyond party advancement, who could prepare budgets and keep the country functioning. He pointed to his own background in administration and criticised governments that fail to present budgets, arguing that they thereby give up managing.
The PP's other programme proposals, including changes to family benefits and a national palliative-care law, were covered in a separate report. At the Santiago event, Feijóo also said public institutions should belong to everyone and public services should work. He asked Galicians to help Alfonso Rueda and back his campaign for national government, promising: “Help me complete that journey and I will not let you down” (translated from Spanish).
