Catalonia Immigration Transfer Falters as Left Splits, Junts Warns of Autumn Reckoning

Podemos’ rejection puts the plan on course to fail, prompting Junts to threaten a review of its backing for Sánchez this autumn.

Overview

  • Congress debates the PSOEJunts proposal today, with defeat likely after Podemos confirmed a no vote alongside PP and Vox.
  • Sumar will not vote as a bloc, as Compromís’ Alberto Ibáñez says he is closer to rejecting the bill than abstaining and cites concerns over its framing of migration.
  • JuntsJordi Turull accuses Podemos of seeking a de facto Article 155 in immigration and signals the party will reassess its relationship with the PSOE in the coming weeks.
  • Podemos labels the text racist and xenophobic based on its preamble, with Ione Belarra criticizing parts of Sumar and ERC for backing what she says legitimizes a stigmatizing narrative.
  • Junts stresses the transfer would vest powers in the PSC-led Generalitat with Comuns, not in Junts, as Turull also rules out supporting state budgets under current conditions.
