Feijóo says he met Vox leader to discuss Senate power-share deal

Alberto Núñez Feijóo revealed that he held a discussion with Santiago Abascal on Wednesday to explore a Senate coalition that would allow the right-wing parties to reach a three-fifths majority. The objective is to enable the renewal of institutions like the Tribunal Constitucional, following the left’s agreement on a unified candidate list. While Feijóo confirmed negotiations are continuing, he did not disclose the exact terms being discussed.

He rejected a claim that Vox is asking the PP to forgo candidacies in districts where it has never elected a senator, calling that notion obsolete. Instead, he suggested the possibility of the PP ceding regional senators to Vox or temporarily allowing Vox its own parliamentary group, similar to a previous arrangement by the PSOE with its allies. When asked about governing with Vox, Feijóo said he will follow the will of the Spanish people and did not commit to a pre-election coalition stance.
