Overview

• The Partido Popular (PP) has scheduled a national congress for July 5-6 in Madrid to finalize leadership renewal, reform party statutes, and define a cohesive right-wing policy platform.
• Alberto Núñez Feijóo has tasked Fernando López Miras, María Guardiola, Gema Igual, and Dani Sirera with drafting the revised internal statutes to shape the party's future structure and direction.
• The PP aims to challenge Vox's dominance on key issues, including immigration, rural advocacy, and nuclear energy, by adopting tougher stances and tailored policies in these areas.
• Immigration policy proposals include reinforcing borders, linking immigration to employment, and exploring the use of the Armed Forces to intercept migrant boats.
• Budget negotiations in six Vox-dependent regions remain paused, adding urgency to the congress's outcome in solidifying the PP’s strategy and internal cohesion.
