Intense night for the candidates for the presidency of the Government this 23J. The triggers were several: a Popular Party that wins, but does not obtain a majority and a Socialist Party that, against all odds, recovers from May 28 with more votes and seats than in 2019.
The hustle and bustle of the polls means that, both Alberto Núñez Feijóoas Pedro Sanchez, Yolanda Diaz y Santiago Abascalthey will leave their headquarters in the middle of the night and go to their place of residence to cope with the hangover of an election night worthy of debate.
Since 2018, and until further notice, Pedro Sánchez has occupied the Moncloa Palace together with Begoña, his wife, and their two daughters. The motion of no confidence in Mariano Rajoy it was decisive for the leader of the Socialist Party to leave his house in Somosaguas, municipality of Pozuelo de Alarcón, to move to the official residence.
And it is that, the Palacio de la Moncloa houses a total of 200 square meters. Sufficient space for eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms, three dressing rooms, as well as a private pool and gardens declared ‘Asset of Cultural Interest’, among other facilities.
For Alberto Núñez Feijóo, becoming the president of the Popular Party had direct consequences: leaving Galicia, his homeland, to settle in Madrid. Although the PP leader owns a 120-square-meter flat in the capital (in the Nuevos Ministerios area), the man who was president of the Xunta de Galicia for 13 years has opted to rent it out for his stay in the capital.
Currently, the Galician politician resides in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city: El Viso. An area located in the heart of Madrid, where businessmen of the stature of Florentino Perez, Ana Botin o Borja Prado. According to a real estate portal, the rent is around 5,701 euros per square meter, as indicated by Vozpopuli. Feijóo does not forget his land. No matter how long he spends in the capital, the popular leader maintains a home he owns in Vigo.
The Council for Transparency and Good Governance forced the Ministries of Economy and Social Work in 2021 to reveal the data on the official homes in which their owners lived. Thanks to these data, we know that Yolanda Díaz lives in a 443-square-meter penthouse, located near the Retiro. The price of the property of the leader of Sumar is around 5,601 euros per square meter.
For Santiago Abascal, the ideal place to reside in Madrid is the neighborhood of Hortaleza. The president of VOX already lived in that district in 2020 when he was renting. Now, with a villa owned by 3,984 euros per square meter, Abascal continues to opt for the same neighborhood.
With a total of 185 meters built, his house is spread over two floors. The ground floor is made up of the dining room, the living room, the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom and a toilet. Meanwhile, on the ground floor, Santiago Abascal and his family have four bedrooms and two bathrooms. In addition, the house has a 100-square-meter garden, where his wife, the influencer Lydia Bedmanposes for his social networks on multiple occasions.
