Sánchez in Palma: A 75% Turnout Can Deliver 176 Seats and Four More Years in Power
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, the Socialist candidate for re-election, rallied supporters in Palma de Mallorca on November 14 ahead of the November 29 general election. He set two numerical targets — turnout of 75% and 176 seats in Congress, an absolute majority — closing with the call: "Vote, win, and govern for four more years." He was joined by Congress president Francina Armengol, who heads the party's Balearic list.
Reviewing eight years in office, Sánchez listed rises in the minimum wage, pension revaluations, a labour reform and a record 22.6 million workers affiliated with social security, calling it "good politics." He cast the People's Party and Vox as the camp of "regression" and "chainsaw cuts" and urged voters to stop them at the ballot box. He also voiced confidence in victory and called on his main rival, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to respect the November 29 result; Feijóo campaigned the same day in Galicia, presenting himself as a manager.
The average of 15 polling institutes currently puts the PP ahead at 31.4%, with the Socialists at 26.9% and Vox at 19.1% — the opposite conclusion from the official CIS survey, leaving the race open. Campaigning runs until November 27.
