AI-generated summary
The Popular Party has received proposals for debates for the general election campaign.
The Popular Party has received dozens of proposals to debate during the campaign, and accepts that Alberto Núñez Feijóo have two campaign debates with Pedro Sánchez. One face to face and another between the four main candidates. This was conveyed this Friday by the popular formation in a statement.
The idea of the PP is to hold a face-to-face meeting in Mediaset on November 16, which is the first Monday of the campaign, and a four-way debate (Sánchez, Feijóo, Santiago Abascal and the Frente Amplio candidate) in Atresmedia on November 26, as close as possible to the appointment with the polls.
"The electoral campaign for the general elections is a fantastic opportunity to confront models between the Spain that is coming and the Spain that is leaving," they say in the PP.
However, Feijóo has refused to attend debates on TVE, at a time when the PP is very critical of the public channel, which it calls "submissive" to Sánchez and "partial." The candidate of the main opposition party does agree to be interviewed by this channel, but as long as it is not in a privately produced program.
"The company does not have managers who work thinking about the general interest, but it does have magnificent communication professionals. It should be them and not an external production company who assume the challenge and responsibility of organizing these interviews, so important, both on TVE and RNE," reads the statement, which is based on the letters that the PP campaign director, Miguel Tellado, has sent to the communication groups that have requested debates.
In addition, the Popular Party will participate in a debate with the spokespersons of the political groups with parliamentary representation. "There is a proposal from RTVE for Monday, November 23. We accept it."
