Speaking at an event celebrating Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s two years as president of the Community of madrid, Feijóo detailed his party’s commitment to a new ideology focused on institutional reform and combating corruption.

These measures are designed to ensure greater accountability and transparency in government.

He also promised to eliminate superfluous government positions and limit the use of decree-law to curb government overreach.
