Overview

• Lawmakers voted 170–162 with 16 abstentions to reprove Equality Minister Ana Redondo over failures of anti‑abuse bracelets, with PP, Vox and UPN in favor and ERC, Junts, CC and BNG abstaining.
• ERC and Junts justified their abstentions by citing insufficient explanations from Redondo and highlighted that the government’s gender‑violence delegate, not the minister, is set to address Congress.
• Junts aligned with PP and Vox to pass a non‑binding immigration motion urging tighter procedures for foreign paternity permits, underscoring shifting majorities in the chamber.
• From New York, Pedro Sánchez announced the BAM Furor will depart Cartagena to assist the Global Sumud flotilla if needed and conduct rescues, as Spain rallied 17 countries to warn attackers of international legal consequences.
• Judicial scrutiny intensified as Judge Juan Carlos Peinado notified Begoña Gómez of his intention to bring her to trial before detailing supporting indicia, a step criticized as lacking prudence in timing and form.
