Sánchez and Feijóo to hold televised debate on November 19
Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo will debate on November 19 ahead of Spain’s November 29 general election.
Sánchez leads the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party, or PSOE, while Feijóo leads the People’s Party, or PP.
The debate will be the first of two agreed meetings between the main candidates, but the date for a four-way debate has not been set.
It will be moderated by María Casado, president of Spain’s Television Academy, at a production studio in Tres Cantos near Madrid.
The candidates will cover five topics, including housing, the economy, public services, corruption, migration and foreign policy.
A draw gave Feijóo the opening statement and Sánchez the final one.
The televised face-off matters because it comes during the election campaign, and their previous debate in 2023 shaped the campaign days that followed.
The debate’s broadcast time is still to be announced.
