Spain’s Sánchez and Núñez Feijóo clash in fierce pre-election debate

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:22 GMT

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo clashed in a brutal one-on-one debate on Monday night, shouting over one another and accusing each other of lying, with the challenger emerging a surprise victor.Tensions ran high throughout the debate, the sole face-off the rivals are set to have before the upcoming July 23 election, with Núñez Feijóo landing several killer blows. Polls project the opposition leader’s center-right Popular Party will score the most votes in the election, but in recent weeks Sánchez’s Socialists have been closing the gap, raising the stakes ahead of the midsummer ballot.With neither party expected to win enough seats in the Spanish parliament to govern on its own, both leaders spent much of the debate trading barbs about each other’s potential coalition partners. The nasty tenor could have a dampening effect on voter turnout in an election scheduled to take place at the height of the holiday season.Sánch...
