The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, starred this Wednesday in a new confrontation in the control session of Congress, marked by a harsh tone and cross-accusations.
The clash has evidenced the escalation of tension between the Government and the opposition at a key moment in the political calendar.
Feijóo attacks management: infrastructure and spending
Feijóo has focused his parliamentary offensive on the Executive's economic policy, denouncing an alleged lack of investment in infrastructure and questioning public spending management.
The popular leader has warned of a deterioration in this area and has reproached Sánchez for prioritizing his international agenda over the country's internal problems.

Sánchez responds with Vox and accuses the PP of "off-the-books financing"
In his reply, Sánchez has avoided entering fully into the technical debate and has opted to attack the PP for its alliances with Vox, citing agreements such as the recent one in Extremadura.
In one of the most tense moments, he has directly accused the popular party of “financing in B” and wanting workers in B, in reference to irregular practices and the popular party’s rejection of the regularization of migrants.
His defense of the Spanish economy's progress has been supported by employment and growth data.
Migration, economy and pacts: the fronts of the confrontation
The exchange of blows has not been limited to the economy. Other axes of confrontation have emerged during the debate:
- Migration, with the Government's defense of extraordinary regularization
- International policy, with references to the Executive's foreign agenda
- Political blocs, focusing on the PP's relationship with Vox
