Overview
- Lawmakers approved the consideration of the reform with a broad majority, with PSOE and PP in favor, Sumar and PNV supporting, Podemos, ERC, BNG and Compromís abstaining, and Vox and UPN voting against.
- The proposal now moves to the Constitutional Committee, where parties can file amendments before a final vote in the full chamber and subsequent review in the Senate.
- The draft raises health, education, social services and housing to statutory guarantees and recognizes new rights including digital access, environmental protection and the right to water.
- Institutional changes include enabling a regional tax agency, the use of regional decree-laws for urgent measures, potential EU delegations, stronger oversight bodies and a new range of up to 55 regional deputies.
- The text underscores loyalty to Spain’s constitutional framework by referencing the indissoluble unity of the nation, while Vox opposes the package and regional leaders aim for definitive approval by mid‑2026.
