Background
The Partido Popular (PP) is Spain's principal centre-right opposition party, led nationally by Alberto Núñez Feijóo since April 2022 and represented in Congress by figures including Madrid mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida. The party governs swing comunidades autónomas including the Comunidad de Madrid (Isabel Díaz Ayuso), Andalusia (Juanma Moreno) and Galicia (Alfonso Rueda) — the regional governments now sitting at the centre of the Plan Estatal de Vivienda 2026-2030's 60/40 co-financing arrangement .
On 28 April 2026 PP voted with Vox and Junts to defeat the PSOE-Sumar government's decreto-ley extending the rental price-freeze for two further years, leaving inquilinos who filed prórroga requests during the one-month window in legal limbo . Almeida used the floor moment to claim Madrid would 'triple the 150,000-home target' already in the urban-planning pipeline, with no permits, schedule, or funding line attached.
