On October 23, leaders of Spain's governing parties and allied political forces launched a coordinated response against statements made by opposition Popular Party (PP) leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo concerning equality policies, abortion, and euthanasia. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and senior government figures warned of an impending rollback of women's rights under a potential PP administration.
Rebeca Torró, the organizational secretary of the PSOE, specifically cautioned that Feijóo would dismantle the Ministry of Equality as well as existing abortion and euthanasia laws using what she termed a political "chainsaw." Meanwhile, Podemos secretary-general Ione Belarra publicly contested Feijóo's stance, asserting that guaranteed access to abortion for 16- and 17-year-olds represents an established and non-negotiable right rather than an open debate.
