Yes they do have a program
The PP and its anti-leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, have resumed the pre-campaign in a presidential tone, like an investiture speech, with which Feijóo sprinkles his interventions in public acts and media. It is nothing more than the old doctrinal construct of the traditional Spanish right (patriotism, reactionism, rejection of diversity, capitalism without limits disguised as liberalism) grafted with the depleted uranium of the hate speeches of the so-called new rights. So new that, in the case of Spain, they incorporate elements as innovative as the ideological legacy of Falangism and the Francoist dictatorship, which they claim without hesitation.
Feijóo preaches, therefore, the implementation of a points-based visa that gives priority to the entry of immigrants who come to work as labor and who “know our culture better and have a greater capacity for integration.” Translated, this means Latin Americans yes, Moors no. It is pure racism, cloaked —of course— in linguistic and cultural supremacism, not only against immigrants but also against the millions of us who speak languages other than Spanish. Because when Feijóo speaks of “those who know our culture better” he is referring to nothing other than those who speak Spanish. He doesn't care about the rest, because they don't even know Spanish culture (let alone Catalan) either. “Our culture,” for the nationalist right, means being a Spanish speaker, and it is also the obvious will to make things even more difficult for Catalan, Basque, and Galician. Furthermore, the points-based visa is a proposal that not so many years ago the PP would have refrained from presenting, for fear of being branded as racist. The goal is to build a vertical model of society with first, second, and third-class citizens, with well-defined elites, deteriorated working classes, and a broad base of poor or near-poor people who are easily malleable, without social mobility or expectations.
Feijóo also appeals to what, according to him, defines his party: experience, rigor, and management capacity. Indeed, all of us who have known PP governments know well how their rigor, experience, and management function, which are fundamentally based on the dismantling of public services and the corrosion of the welfare state, for the benefit of large economic operators who, oh what a coincidence, are usually close to the party, or to Vox. Recently, José María Figaredo and Joan Garriga met with Foment and the Cercle d'Economia to explain their economic program, to the great satisfaction of the attendees: minimizing or suppressing labor rights seemed like an excellent idea to them. Regarding linguistic diversity, the marchioness Cayetana Sánchez de Toledo, called to high responsibilities in a future PP-Vox executive, is clear about it: the first measure must be to suppress the pinganillo of Congress, an instrument of hate and the quintessence of Sanchismo. Congratulations to those who entertain themselves with solemn proclamations about not wanting a government of the Spanish right, but also not regretting the fall of Sánchez because we are patriots and blah, blah, blah.
