At a rally held in Alhaurín el Grande, the leader of the People's Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, reinforced his political stance in a context marked by Congress's recent refusal to reduce working hours, a move supported by the PP, Vox and Junts. Accompanied by the Andalusian leader Juan Manuel Moreno, Feijóo criticized the government for "hijacking democracy" by pointing to the lack of respect for institutions and the absence of a parliamentary majority. In his speech, he also condemned the violence in response to the assassination of the Trumpist activist Charlie Kirk, avoiding directly blaming the government, but suggesting that there are those who minimize such acts for political convenience.
