Congress Sets Thursday Vote on PP’s Nuclear Amendment as Junts Holds the Balance

Junts’ decision will determine whether the Senate change removing fixed shutdown dates for Almaraz, Ascó and Cofrentes is folded into the Mobility Law.

Overview

  • The lower house will vote only on the Senate’s amendments to the Sustainable Mobility Law, not on the full text.
  • Government sources say they have not vetoed the nuclear change on budget grounds, but they will block two other PP provisions on charging networks and corporate compensation.
  • The Senate’s package reached the Congress on Tuesday afternoon, leaving little time for any further procedural moves before the vote.
  • Iberdrola, Endesa and Naturgy have asked to extend Almaraz’s operation to June 2030, and Pedro Sánchez signaled he would study it under safety, supply and fiscal conditions.
  • El País reports the law’s approval is tied to a €10 billion tranche of EU funds, raising the stakes of Thursday’s decision.
