PP

The PP (Partido Popular) is a Spanish conservative political party founded in 1989 by Manuel Fraga Iribarne. It has been a major force in Spanish politics since the transition to democracy in the late 1970s. Recently, the PP has been in the news due to its role in the regularization of over 500,000 foreign immigrants and criticism from other parties regarding its ties to the far-right. The party has also been involved in various regional elections and has a majority in the Cortes de Castilla y León. The PP's current president is Francisco Vázquez, who was elected after a seven-year hiatus. The party's recent developments highlight its ongoing relevance in Spanish politics.
