MADRID, Spain – PP president Alberto Núñez Feijóo was flanked on Thursday in Brussels by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, in the middle of the pre-campaign for 29 November and with issues such as the situation in Ceuta in the background of the European debate. The PP candidate attended the summit with his European People’s Party colleagues, in parallel to the European Council, appearing in the protocol photo escorted by Von der Leyen on one side and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on the other.

The economy and migration are key issues right now within the EU, amid negotiations over the bloc’s new budget, with talks completely stalled while the PP focuses on speeding up the pre-campaign and Feijóo wants, for example, to “Europeanise” the Ceuta crisis. “I will tell Europe what Sánchez is silent about,” he said in one of his latest messages. A PP victory and a subsequent government led by Feijóo would boost the general shift to the right in the EU, with traditional conservatives leading key executives such as Germany, Poland and Spain if it comes to that. In that sense, for example, the trip by EPP leader Manfred Weber to Ceuta a few weeks ago gives a good account of the backing they enjoy in Génova from their European colleagues.

Weber himself shared a photo alongside Feijóo and left a message rejecting the Sánchez government’s migration policies. “On migration, Europe must act and act united. Ceuta shows that the moment to act is now: Spain must make full use of the Migration and Asylum Pact and the Return Regulation. Ceuta is Spain, it is Europe. Our borders. Our rules. Member states, not traffickers, must decide who enters Europe,” the German wrote on social media. In general, negotiations on the bloc’s new budget, the Multiannual Financial Framework 2028-2034, are picking up speed, with time already running and, for now, leaving two blocs, disparate positions and old ghosts for the continent: on one side the frugals, led by Germany, on the other the group of friends of cohesion, where Spain sits, with the proposal of the Irish Council presidency on the table of the 27. The so-called “negobox”, in community jargon, has for now not brought positions closer.

From Moncloa they nuance that the early election on 29 November will not negatively affect the Spanish position, with sources insisting that the negotiation of the community budget is a country matter and does not depend on results at the polls. It is true that it could be completed with a new executive in early 2027, but Sánchez’s plans include continuing to set his priorities while he remains in power, though the tight deadlines suggest it will no longer be the current government that concludes the talks on the MFF. On the other hand, Spain is seeking, and appears close to achieving, a political win in the migration debate, with Moncloa saying through its sources that the mention of the situation in Ceuta in the draft conclusions leaves the government very satisfied after months of clashes above all with Italy. The executive also defends that Spain’s application of the common migration and asylum pact is total and that the data prove it, with a reduction, it says, of 74 per cent in irregular arrivals on the Atlantic route. The executive, the sources conclude, complies with its migration commitments, although many partners are wary of this claim.
