Background

• Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the former President of Galicia, has been the national leader of the PP since April 2022.

• In the July 23, 2023 Spanish general election, the PP under Feijóo won 43.58% of the vote (712,881 votes) in Galicia, securing 13 seats.

• Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the President of the Community of Madrid, is frequently discussed in Spanish media as a potential future national leader of the PP, and her positioning on irregular immigration has itself been interpreted by political observers as tied to her national ambitions. Because Galicia is a traditional PP stronghold and Feijóo's home region, a hypothetical leadership transition to the Madrid-based Ayuso, who is perceived as positioned further to the right than the traditionally more centrist, Christian-democratic-leaning Feijóo, and who has adopted a notably hard line on irregular immigration, has been the subject of intense political debate regarding its potential impact on regional voter behaviour. This debate is framed by the sharp demographic contrast between the two leaders' territories: Galicia is a more rural and aging society with a strong Catholic tradition and a history of roughly 150 years of mass emigration — first to Latin America and later to Northern Europe — whereas Madrid has been one of Spain's principal destinations for immigration over the past three decades and hosts a far higher proportion of foreign-born residents.
