The Government calls Feijóo "irresponsible" and condemns violence to prevent the campaign from focusing there

The Spanish government condemns recent violence in Bilbao and Barcelona, labeling the opposition's focus on these incidents as irresponsible. The government believes the People's Party (PP) is attempting to shift the campaign narrative due to poor performance in the early stages. Government spokesperson Elma Saiz emphasized that violence has no place in politics and criticized the PP for fostering hatred. The government aims to contain the debate around violence, asserting it is a police issue rather than a political one. They are determined to redirect the campaign focus back to the implications of a potential right-wing coalition government.
