The 2025-2026 Bitter Orange Harvesting Season in Seville Has Begun

The president of the Partido Popular, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, appears before the media at the national headquarters of the Partido Popular, on December 29, 2025, in Madrid (Spain). Two days before the end of the current year, during his speech, Feijóo took stock of 2025, listing what have been for the PP the ten failures of the Government in this period: housing, migration, international policy, protection of the family and women, and corruption, among others. The leader of the PP stated that in Spain "it is the Government that is failing, not the nation" and that the PP is prepared to offer an alternative to this Executive.
