Overview
- ERC confirmed it will delay its bill for Catalonia to collect the IRPF until the first half of 2026 and instead table a proposal to penalize speculative home purchases in the current session.
- Party sources and multiple outlets report the postponement is part of a pact with the PSOE, with ERC saying talks on a new financing model are advancing and the PSC welcoming the synchronized timetable.
- Junts condemned the delay and urged ERC to harden its stance, accusing Pedro Sánchez of failing to honor commitments and widening tensions among Catalan parties.
- The Congress votes Thursday on a PP amendment to remove scheduled nuclear plant closures, a test that could pass with Junts’ backing as Podemos urges a government veto and Sumar questions that route’s viability.
- Regional budget battles continue, with Castilla y León presenting a 2026 plan seeking cross-party support while the PP in Castilla-La Mancha filed a full-budget challenge and the PSOE defended its accounts as expansionary.
