The PP’s programme would count the “conceived but unborn” when calculating family benefits, while making no reference to repealing Spain’s abortion law. That is one of several proposals in the platform Alberto Núñez Feijóo presented on 10 November at the Espacio Torrelara in Madrid, ahead of the general election scheduled for 29 November. The Partido Popular describes “Reconstrucción Nacional” as a national political project built around four objectives: repairing the state, regenerating democracy, reunifying the nation and restoring national ambition. These are campaign commitments, not measures already in force, and would require electoral support followed by legislative or budgetary action.
Called “Reconstrucción Nacional”, the programme proposes repealing the Ley de Memoria Democrática and replacing it with a “norma de concordia”. The PP says the replacement would support historical research and reconciliation while continuing humanitarian efforts to find and identify missing people. It also argues that the existing law prevents justice and reconciliation, citing Bildu. The party presents the programme as a broad alternative to the policies of Pedro Sánchez’s government, spanning institutional, judicial, economic, tax and social policy.
The platform would review rules it says have created legal uncertainty in the name of equality. It proposes ending legal self-determination of registered sex and using biological sex as the criterion for women’s sports categories. On abortion, the programme proposes neither repeal nor an express restriction. Its position on the Ley de Eutanasia is also indirect: it promises a national palliative-care law but does not say whether the euthanasia law would change.
Migration policy is another major part of the plan. The PP proposes a single authority to direct entry, residence, return and integration, alongside more surveillance and infrastructure at land, sea and airport borders, including in Ceuta and Melilla. It would change the Ley de Extranjería so border rejection could cover people who enter Ceuta or Melilla by swimming. People intercepted after crossing illegally would be identified within seven days and returned rapidly. The party has also pledged reforms to classify the two autonomous cities as borders of both Spain and Europe. Cuca Gamarra, the PP’s deputy secretary for institutional regeneration, has linked that proposal to a greater state presence and stronger border protection in the cities.
The programme would prohibit mass regularisations and make arraigo an exceptional individual route. It also says municipal registration alone would not qualify people for non-urgent financial assistance. Foreign residents would face an integration commitment covering Spanish and knowledge of the Constitution and European Union values; the plan also proposes banning the burqa and niqab in public spaces. Separately, the PP has proposed a single activation income combining the Minimum Vital Income with different subsidies, while making it compatible with work from the first day.
For foreign nationals convicted of sexual offences or violent crimes, as well as repeat offenders, the programme says expulsion would be the rule. It would also allow returns to safe third countries and establish return centres there through agreements. Feijóo made a related pledge on foreign offenders in an earlier campaign report.
The PP also wants a new Nationality Law tying access to Spanish citizenship to continued residence, sufficient Spanish and knowledge of the country’s history and institutions. Applicants would need good civic conduct, no criminal record and to meet tax and Social Security obligations. The programme would permit nationality to be withdrawn for certain serious offences while avoiding statelessness.
Other proposals include requiring debates in the Congreso de los Diputados to use Spanish, while allowing co-official languages in the Senate. The PP would replace the LOMLOE with a new education framework, guarantee parents a choice of school and extend publicly funded agreements with concerted schools for at least six years at every stage.
On housing, the programme promises a law allowing a judge to order an occupied home cleared within 48 hours. It says owners would not have to pay utility bills or property taxes for the home while it remained occupied, and proposes cancelling the occupants’ municipal registration there. Separately, the PP has set a target of building one million homes during the next legislature, a campaign commitment presented alongside its broader policy proposals.
The PP has also announced a proposed €650 million reactivation programme for Ceuta and Melilla covering 2027-2032. Gamarra presented the plan in connection with a greater state presence and stronger border protection in the two autonomous cities.
