Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and conservative People's Party leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo engaged in a chaotic live television debate ahead of the upcoming national election. The candidates clashed on various issues, including the economy, housing, pensions, the environment, international relations, and policies towards women. Viewers and analysts criticized the hosts for failing to control the heated exchange. Opinion polls suggest Feijoo as the likely winner, but the Socialists are closing the gap.
