At a campaign event in Fuerteventura, PP spokesperson Ester Muñoz framed the 29 November election as a choice between Pedro Sánchez’s interests and those of Spaniards. She pledged tax cuts focused on the most vulnerable if the PP enters government.
At a PP pre-campaign event in Puerto del Rosario, Fuerteventura, on 24 October, Ester Muñoz made tax relief the party’s first promised move in government, with priority for the most vulnerable. The event was attended by Manuel Domínguez, president of the PP of the Canary Islands and vice-president of the regional government, and Jéssica de León, president of the Fuerteventura PP.
The PP campaign spokesperson and the party’s parliamentary spokesperson in Congress said the 29 November general election would determine whether life improves for Pedro Sánchez or for Spaniards. She accused Sánchez of governing for himself and said the PP wanted to govern for all citizens. Muñoz also accused the PSOE of lacking proposals and relying on warnings about a right-wing government. She said the PP was focused on housing and taxation, while also addressing immigration and security.
Muñoz presented the party’s campaign as a response to everyday concerns. The PP has put forward proposals on housing and migration, with security and pensions also on its agenda, she said. It wants a change that would let people work for their own futures.
Taxes featured prominently. Muñoz accused the Socialist Party of continuing to squeeze taxpayers and said a PP government would lower taxes, with particular attention to people in vulnerable situations. She also argued that inflation should not erode wages or pensions. The tax reductions were presented as campaign pledges alongside the party’s broader priorities.
Her attacks on Sánchez extended to his record on feminism. Muñoz accused his government of employing women who had been prostituted and referred to abused women whose monitoring bracelets failed. She also blamed him for the early release of rapists. These were political allegations made during the campaign.
Muñoz said the middle class had been deliberately weakened during Sánchez’s years in office. She described social justice as giving people the means to choose their futures rather than making everyone dependent on the state. She also pointed to difficulties making ends meet and accessing housing, alongside child poverty and energy poverty, as part of her criticism of the government’s record.
The election date has also featured in debate negotiations. A debate report set out the parties’ positions on proposed televised encounters before 29 November. Pedro Sánchez announced the early election on 5 October. RTVE reported that the new Cortes were scheduled to be constituted on 23 December.
PP of the Canary Islands president Manuel Domínguez called for tighter border control and international cooperation, including action in countries of origin and transit. He also backed a Frontex deployment and a role for the Fuerzas Armadas. He called for more support for the Guardia Civil and Policía Nacional. His participation at the Fuerteventura event placed the party’s national campaign message alongside regional concerns about migration management.
In Fuerteventura, party president Jéssica de León said the island needed representation in Congress and the Senate with a project addressing its concerns. She cited the sea connection with Cádiz and access to housing. Her concerns also included irregular immigration and coastal issues.
On the same day, Sánchez addressed a campaign rally in Granada, urging progressive voters to prevent what he described as a PP and Vox regression in rights and social welfare. He presented the election as a defence of progressive governance and called for a broader parliamentary majority. The two leaders’ statements set out competing campaign appeals ahead of the 29 November vote.
