Feijóo rejects the notion that pepper spray is a "weapon" and criticizes Armengol for expelling his deputy and "inflaming" the plenary session.

During a session of the Spanish Congress, security protocols were triggered after a pepper spray canister was discharged in a restroom, rendering the area temporarily unusable and affecting one woman. Following the incident, PP deputy Ana Belén Vázquez was expelled from the hemiciclo by the President of the Congress, Francina Armengol, after displaying a similar spray canister during the session to make a point regarding the security breach.

PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has publicly denounced the expulsion as "inaudita" (unprecedented) and "vergonzosa" (shameful), rejecting the characterization of the spray as an "arma" (weapon) in the context of the protest. Meanwhile, other political figures, such as ERC spokesperson Gabriel Rufián, have weighed in on the parliamentary decorum and the nature of the protest, comparing the incident to previous displays in the chamber.
