PP Spokesman Sémper Signals Historic Decisions Amid Vox Senate Talks

The People's Party (PP) is preparing for significant political shifts as it negotiates a potential joint Senate list with Vox for the November 29 elections, which spokesperson Borja Sémper describes as the most critical vote since Spain’s Transition. Speaking in A Coruña, Sémper emphasized that these negotiations will force the PP to make "historic decisions" to secure a majority capable of transforming the country Source: Infobae.

While Sémper did not disclose specific details of the talks with Vox, he framed the alliance as necessary to address what he termed an "anomaly" of recent years. He criticized the current Socialist government for using ministerial councils for electoral campaigning, particularly regarding the announced minimum wage increase. Sémper argued that without parliamentary majorities or social dialogue, such measures are merely "fireworks" designed for show Source: El Español.

The PP’s platform focuses on restoring trust and economic stability. Key proposals include:

• Housing: Constructing approximately one million homes over four years through a strategy of "build, build, and build" Source: Infobae.
• Public Administration: Cutting superfluous political posts by 50% and conducting audits of public accounts Source: El Español.
• Pensions: Revaluing pensions in line with inflation Source: Infobae.

Sémper also pledged to shift focus from political posturing to practical governance, promising to discuss maximum and average salaries rather than just the minimum. He highlighted the PPdeG’s model under Alberto Núñez Feijóo as a reference for keeping political promises, urging a return to serious, reasonable debate Source: El Español. The party aims to present itself as a force for "fresh air" in politics, moving away from what it characterizes as years of hypocrisy and division Source: Infobae.
