Maricarmen tributes Divide Spain’s parties

Oct 8

RTVE contrasts political responses to Maricarmen Abascal’s death. PP and Vox refuse requested silences in Madrid’s Assembly and City Council, while left groups hold outdoor tributes, including at the European Parliament. Ayuso blames Sánchez’s government and Almeida attacks the opposition. The PP does commemorate her in the Valencian parliament, where Vox leaves; Moreno calls for real housing policy. Feijóo accuses the left of emotional manipulation, López criticizes the refusal to observe silence, and Maíllo and Montero denounce prioritizing property profits over life. These are attributed political positions.
