Spain’s opposition leader Alberto Nuñez Feijoo has hinted at revisiting teenage abortion rights and reforming the country’s euthanasia law if he wins next month’s general election.
Speaking to Cadena SER on Friday, the Partido Popular leader questioned whether 16-year-olds should be able to terminate a pregnancy without their parents’ knowledge.
‘Can a 16-year-old girl need permission to get a tattoo, but not to have an abortion?’ he asked.
Feijoo called for a debate about how to handle cases where families disagree over an abortion, although he did not set out a detailed proposal.
He also argued that no woman should feel compelled to end a pregnancy for financial reasons.
On euthanasia, he stopped short of promising to repeal the law but confirmed his party would amend it.
‘Dying with dignity is a concept I agree with,’ he said, while arguing that the existing rules needed stronger medical safeguards.
The comments came during a wide-ranging interview ahead of the snap election on November 29.
Feijoo also refused to rule out a governing agreement with the hard-right Vox party if he fell short of a majority.

‘I cannot rule out doing what the Spanish people instruct me to do,0 he said.
‘If they instruct me to provide stability with this country’s third-largest political force, that is what I will do.’
He insisted the parties were contesting the election separately and said no division of government posts had been negotiated.
On housing, Feijoo pledged to encourage the construction of one million homes, release public land for developments offering properties at 30% below market prices and expand guarantees for young buyers.
He also promised to maintain annual state pension increases in line with inflation and negotiate minimum wage rises with employers and unions.
Feijoo renewed his commitment to repeal the Democratic Memory Law, while making clear that removing Pedro Sanchez from office remained his central electoral objective.
‘My first objective is for Sanchez to leave government,’ he said.
