El País's live blog of the run-up to Spain's 29 November 2026 election records the Partido Popular accepting the PSOE's proposal that the Academia de Televisión organize the debates — a Feijóo–Sánchez head-to-head on 16 November and a four-way debate on the 26th — with Podemos pressing to be included. On the final pre-campaign day, Santiago Abascal is interviewed on 'La Revuelta', a crowd hails him as 'presidente' outside the theatre, and he says it was a very serious debate from which he expected something else. Alberto Núñez Feijóo pledges housing measures and border control in Palma, Pedro Sánchez predicts turnout above 70%, and a 40dB. poll gives the right bloc over 190 seats.
