Feijóo accuses Sánchez of spending a trillion euros without budgets

Alberto Núñez Feijóo accused Pedro Sánchez of spending a trillion euros without passing national budgets, and warned that public accounts could be left in poor shape.

Feijóo said a full audit would be one of his first steps if he becomes Spain’s prime minister, and that he would ask the State Attorney’s Office to examine possible criminal liability for false public accounting.

On housing, he proposed building one million homes during the next term and offering tax breaks and loan guarantees to help young people buy their first home.

He also said he would repeal a government decree expected to include a ban on evictions and limits on some property purchases.

Feijóo called the nationwide strike a failure and said voters would give their view at the ballot box on 29 November.

Opinion polls suggest his People’s Party may need support from Vox to govern, and Feijóo said he would seek to complete a majority if his party cannot govern alone.

He said relations with Vox had improved, but denied discussing a coalition or government posts with its leader, Santiago Abascal.
