Feijóo asserts that the PP is the vote for change and assures that with Vox "there will be no cordon sanitaire but neither will there be an umbilical cordon."

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's Partido Popular (PP), expressed strong optimism regarding future general elections, asserting that his party is better prepared and more energized than it was during the 2023 electoral cycle. Speaking in statements reported in October, Feijóo positioned the PP as the definitive vehicle for political change in the country.

Addressing potential political alliances, Feijóo specifically commented on relations with Vox, stating that the PP will maintain a pragmatic stance that avoids both a total quarantine or "sanitary cordon" and an inseparable political bond or "umbilical cord" with the party. This positioning comes as the PP looks back on the 2023 elections, where the party secured a victory in terms of votes but ultimately fell short of the necessary parliamentary support to form a government.
