The PP's congressional spokeswoman, Ester Muñoz, announced on Sunday that "the PP will accept and support Vox's proposed law to ban the burka in public spaces."

Muñoz has said that "the PP and Vox must understand each other. The Spanish deserve another government, and that process must be speeded up." "The PP and Vox must understand each other, they must reach an agreement, because the priority is not our parties, but the Spaniards," he said, adding that "there are many issues" on which PP and Vox disagree, because they are "different parties," but in others they do, such as the ban on the burka.

Muñoz recalled that the PP had already announced in July that it would ban the comprehensive burka throughout Spain "in the public sphere" and that 15 days ago the Balearic PP asked the Spanish Government to approve it as a bill to ban the burka in public spaces.

"Just today, in an interview, our President Feijóo highlighted this issue. On Tuesday, Vox will present a bill to ban the burka in public spaces and the PP spokesman has assured us that" the PP will accept and support the debate on this in Parliament. "
