· Politics · Spain

Spain's main opposition People's Party presented an election manifesto on Tuesday promising tax cuts, tighter borders, stricter conditions on development aid and slower climate timetables ahead of the November 29 election, according to The Straits Times. The PP is seeking to unseat the governing Socialists amid voter anger over housing and living costs, which have also fuelled a nationwide strike planned for Wednesday. The manifesto positions the party toward tougher immigration controls and a more gradual energy transition.

Why it matters:Spain's election could shift one of Europe's largest economies toward tougher migration policy and a slower energy transition.
