Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the People's Party (PP) in Spain, is traveling to Brussels to present his proposals aimed at addressing the economic crisis caused by the ongoing conflict in Iran during the European Council. This visit will include meetings with key European leaders such as the German Christian Democratic Union leader, Friedrich Merz, and the Cypriot president, Nikos Christodoulides. The backdrop for this meeting is the Spanish government's efforts to introduce new measures to mitigate the economic repercussions of the war, which are expected to be announced by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez soon.

The PP has been critical of the Spanish government's handling of the crisis, accusing it of increasing revenue amid the turmoil. In response, the party has outlined its own set of proposals aimed at reducing taxes and providing economic relief, which were registered in Spain's Cortes just a week prior. This includes a push for a Senate vote on their proposals, which they hope will gain support from other political parties.

Feijóo's visit represents not only an effort to rally European support for his party's economic plan but also serves as a strategic move against the current government. By presenting a united front with other European leaders, he aims to position the PP as a viable alternative to the government's approach in managing the economic and social challenges stemming from the Iran crisis.
