Spain's PP faces pressure from Vox over regional spending and mosque plans

Spain’s conservative People’s Party (PP) is navigating heightened pressure from the far-right Vox party across regional and local administrations.

In the Valencian Community, the PP agreed to Vox’s demand to exclude irregular immigrants from social assistance, reserving aid strictly for extreme emergencies under a new "national priority" budget framework. Vox leaders indicated plans to eventually propose similar legislation at the national level.

Meanwhile, in Seville, where the PP governs in a minority administration reliant on Vox’s support, the far-right group threatened to withdraw its backing if municipal authorities grant a permit for a proposed mosque in the Polígono Sur neighborhood. The local council is scheduled to consider the building license in the coming days.
