Summary
Spain's opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo (PP) is threatening a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's coalition government, which has been weakened by corruption allegations and a Civil Guard raid on PSOE headquarters. However, Feijóo lacks the parliamentary numbers to succeed, and the move risks alienating moderate conservative voters while potentially strengthening the far-right Vox party.
