The Partido Popular (PP) is a major political party in Spain, founded in 1989. It is generally considered a center-right party, advocating for conservative policies, economic liberalism, and a strong national identity. The PP has been one of the dominant parties in Spanish politics, often competing with the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) for power. The party has held the position of the ruling government multiple times, with notable leaders such as José María Aznar and Mariano Rajoy. The PP's platform includes support for free market policies, tax reductions, and a unified Spain, opposing separatist movements in regions like Catalonia.
