Alberto Núñez Feijóo, chairman of the Partido Popular, presented and signed an agreement with Madrid in Spain . The Contrato con España sets out twelve political pledges which, according to Feijóo, he intends to implement if he wins the general election on 29 November 2026 . The party made the text and images from the event publicly available; major Spanish media outlets reported on the content and tone of the appearance that same day.
According to the party and media reports, key points include safeguarding national unity and the rule of law; an agenda aimed at economic recovery and institutional renewal; tax relief; expanding the health system; and measures on the housing market. Particular emphasis is placed on the goal of mobilising one million additional homes, guarantees for regular pension uprating, and tougher rules on immigration and citizenship. Some wording also addresses internal security and language policy. No specific draft legislation or detailed funding plan was presented on the day of the signing.
With this move, Feijóo is drawing on earlier campaign strategies in which he grouped policy aims into personal pledges. The current agreement is intended to focus his party’s election campaign and signal reliability. Observers view the document as a blend of manifesto, list of priorities and political message to the party’s own voter base. Several newsrooms note that it reprises familiar Partido Popular demands, while its emphasis on language, territorial organisation and migration could intensify tensions with regional governments and parties. These are assessments made by the respective media outlets.
It remains unclear what deadlines, costs and legal instruments would be needed to implement the twelve pledges. No budget framework or accompanying draft legislation was available at the time of the presentation. Feijóo’s remarks at the event, making the pledges conditional on a possible mandate to govern, can be found in the party’s publicly available version and recordings of the event. The timing – signing on 19 October 2026 and referring to the general election on 29 November 2026 – is confirmed by several freely accessible sources, including RTVE and Servimedia.
What is beyond doubt is the immediate occasion: the signing and presentation of the Contrato con España in Madrid, and the catalogue of twelve proposals that Feijóo is placing at the forefront of his campaign agenda.
