Spanish Minister Condemns Feijóo's Attack on Sánchez

Spain's Political Climate Heats Up as Minister Alegría Condemns Feijóo's Insults. Madrid, Spain – June 3, 2025. Tensions in Spanish politics escalated today following a sharp rebuke from Government Spokesperson Pilar Alegría directed at opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo. Alegría criticized Feijóo for referring to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as the "capo de la mafia" (mafia boss), a comment Alegría deemed unacceptable. "A person like Feijóo, with his past, should be more cautious about making such comments," Alegría stated in a press conference, a portion of which was captured in a video released by Cadena SER. The video shows Alegría expressing her concern over the increasingly polarizing rhetoric in Spanish politics. The incident underscores the growing divide between the ruling PSOE and the opposition PP, as both parties prepare for upcoming elections. Alegría's condemnation of Feijóo's language highlights the need for more civil and respectful dialogue in public discourse.
