Alberto Núñez Feijóo has said he would abolish Spain's Housing Ministry if he forms a government, adding it to the Equality Ministry, which he had previously named for closure. elDiario.es reported the pledge after an interview with podcaster Jordi Wild.
The proposal makes the organisation of housing policy part of the election argument. Abolishing a ministry is not the same as setting out where its public duties would sit. The report does not describe how Housing Ministry functions, budget or staff would be reassigned, nor does it set out a legal or administrative route for the proposed reorganisation.
That omission matters because voters cannot assess an institutional change only by the number of ministries removed. The PP may argue that fewer ministries would simplify government, but it should identify the department that would take responsibility for housing policy and the resources attached to it.
elDiario.es also reported that Feijóo said he would withhold certain portfolios from Vox. The available report does not name those portfolios or state the conditions for such a limit, and it includes no response from Vox.
Feijóo's new pledge shifts the campaign debate from particular housing measures to who would be responsible for designing and delivering them. A plan to abolish ministries needs a corresponding account of continuity, resources and political accountability.
