Street violence shifts the focus of the pre-campaign devised by Moncloa: "We are always concerned about all violence"

Recent riots in Barcelona and Bilbao have shifted the political landscape ahead of the November 29 elections in Spain. The government, previously focused on socio-economic issues, now faces criticism from opposition parties regarding public safety. Elma Saiz, the government spokesperson, condemned the violence but emphasized the need for political responsibility. The government aims to maintain its agenda while addressing the unrest, with ongoing investigations into the incidents. The perception is that opposition parties may exploit these events to their advantage, but the government seeks to avoid a shift in focus from their planned policies.
