Lula to Visit Madrid and Back Sánchez
What happened
President Lula will visit Madrid on Monday 16 November 2026 to meet Prime Minister Sánchez and may join one campaign event for Sánchez's Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE). He will be in Spain on his way home from an official trip to the Philippines. Government sources describe the visit as a show of support for Sánchez's campaign.
Why it matters
The visit is significant because it gives the Sánchez campaign a boost from a leader from Latin America, where Spain has close political and business ties. The visit comes less than two weeks before Spain's general election on Sunday 29 November 2026.
