Caption: Spain's Conservatives In Talks With Vox Over Election Deal. People’s Party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has confirmed negotiations with Vox leader Santiago Abascal's party ahead of Spain's November 29 snap election. Feijóo said the parties were discussing coordinating their Senate candidate lists in an effort to secure a conservative majority in the upper house. The People's Party leader said an agreement could involve the two parties avoiding competition against each other in key areas. Feijóo said the talks were aimed at countering a potential alliance between Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's Socialists and other left-wing parties. Abascal confirmed Vox was prepared to negotiate with the People's Party, saying the opposition needed to prevent the left from controlling the Senate. The Vox leader accused Sánchez of trying to influence the election through "coercion and violence", claims made as campaigning intensifies. Feijóo, who is seeking to become prime minister, said negotiations with Vox would continue with "discretion and respect”. Meanwhile, Spain's left-wing parties have failed to form a broad joint ticket, with Podemos opting out except in the Canary Islands and Valencia.
