Overview

  • Sumar said it will vote to take the bill into consideration but will condition its final support on adding guarantees for housing and abortion rights.
  • Vox confirmed it will vote against, branding the bipartisan reform an expansion of political structures and privileges.
  • Podemos signaled abstention at this stage and warned it will oppose the reform if no amendments are permitted.
  • The draft modernizes the 1982 statute by elevating social rights, enabling a regional decree-law, allowing a CLM tax agency and EU delegations, widening the deputy range to 25–55, and designating Toledo as the capital.
  • The text underscores constitutional loyalty with language on Spain’s indissoluble unity, and regional leaders aim for definitive approval before summer 2026.
