The Popular Party (PP) and Vox have formalized an agreement in the Senate, solidifying their alliance with the stated goal of securing a majority government. This pact, reportedly directed by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, President of the People's Party and Leader of the Opposition, and Santiago Abascal, President of Vox, could be decisive in 13 provinces and brings the right closer to controlling the Senate ahead of the November 29 general election.
In economic news, Spain has achieved a new employment record, adding 73,600 jobs in the third quarter to reach over 22.8 million employed. However, the unemployment rate has also seen an increase, rising above 10%. The government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, is also planning to present housing decrees to the permanent deputation following a general strike.
Meanwhile, disturbances continue in Barcelona, with a judge criticizing parents for their children's involvement in recent protests against Vito Quiles, a Spanish far-right political activist and influencer. Reports also indicate that groups are preparing for looting in the city, leading the Civil Guard to cancel permits to bolster security in Madrid during the upcoming general strike and elections.
