The Partido Popular leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has included in his electoral programme a commitment to prolong the useful life of Spain's nuclear plants immediately if he forms the government. The pledge is one of the points tracked in a live blog covering the general election on 29 November.

In a RAC1 interview, Catalan president Salvador Illa said the People's Party and Vox would not win if there is mobilisation, and that he does not accept the polls' predictions. He said prosperity is being generated but is not shared, and asked people to listen to the message citizens are sending through the general strike. Ada Colau's Frente Amplio, whose slogan translates as "A vote like a home", puts housing and the redistribution of wealth at the centre of its campaign and has set a target of 10% of the vote. Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo are both campaigning for the Catalan vote, which was decisive in 2023. The live blog will continue until after the election, with polling day on 29 November.
