Sánchez warns against PP-Vox coalition as Milei visits Madrid
President Pedro Sánchez used a rally in Valladolid to caution voters that the PP and Vox plan to govern with a “chainsaw” approach, while Argentine President Javier Milei arrived in Madrid for meetings with regional leaders.
Argentine President Javier Milei arrived in Madrid for a second visit, holding talks with Community of Madrid president Isabel Díaz Ayuso and the Vox-affiliated Fundación Disenso, while no meeting with Vox leader Santiago Abascal was scheduled. The trip coincided with the Spanish pre-election period ahead of the 29 November vote. At a rally in Valladolid, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez warned that the Partido Popular and Vox intend to govern with a “chainsaw” mentality, threatening cuts to pensions, the minimum wage and public services.
He called for a decisive win by the PSOE and other progressive forces to prevent such policies. Transport Minister Óscar Puente, appearing at the rally, attacked the right-wing agenda, highlighting Spain’s recent social achievements and contrasting them with Argentina’s high informal employment and declining wages.
Why it matters
The statements shape voter perception ahead of Spain's crucial November election and highlight international political ties.
