PP+Cs was an electoral alliance formed on 21 February 2020 by the People's Party (PP) and Citizens (Cs) in the Basque Country ahead of the 2020 regional election.
==History== ===Background=== The idea of an electoral alliance between the People's Party (PP) and Citizens (Cs) was first proposed by PP leader Pablo Casado following the April 2019 Spanish general election—in which the vote division between the two parties allowed a comfortable victory for the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE)—and the local and regional elections, which led to many local and regional governments being formed between the two parties. The España Suma label () was registered by the PP in August 2019, together with seventeen other similar labels for each autonomous community, inspired by the Navarra Suma electoral alliance in Navarre with the Navarrese People's Union (UPN). The PP attempted to bring Cs into the España Suma umbrella ahead of the November 2019 Spanish general election, but the then-Cs leader Albert Rivera rejected any such agreement either nationally or regionally, aside of the coalition with UPN. After Rivera's resignation following Cs collapse in the general election, the formula was again rejected by the party in December 2019.
