Spain’s conservatives in talks with far-right Vox over election deal

The leader of Spain’s conservative People’s Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, confirmed Tuesday that he is negotiating with the far right ahead of the Nov. 29 snap election to secure a majority in the Senate. “Vox knows how far we can go; they know we have a sense of state,” Feijóo said Tuesday morning in an interview on Spanish radio station COPE , alluding to an alliance with the far-right party. “It would be a mistake to hand control over to Sanchismo ,” he added, in reference to Pedro Sánchez’s Socialist government. Feijóo, who is eyeing the premiership, said he was negotiating with Vox to coordinate Senate lists and counter a potential coalition between the governing socialists and other left-wing parties.
