Overview
- During a tense control session in Congress, PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo demanded a yes‑or‑no answer on alleged illegal PSOE financing, and Pedro Sánchez replied "no."
- Junts spokesperson Miriam Nogueras said it may be the "hour of change" and castigated the government over spending and policy failures, signaling potential risks for parliamentary stability.
- PP will take its Plan Integral de Autónomos to the lower house, proposing lower quotas, less bureaucracy and a VAT zero franchise for annual income under €85,000, a move it believes Junts or the PNV could back.
- The push follows Social Security Minister Elma Saiz’s announcement of higher self‑employed contributions in 2026–2027 and a partial rollback for lower earners, which drew backlash across parties.
- The PP’s demand for an independent audit into failures of the anti‑violence bracelet system was left unresolved after the scheduled vote was suspended, as it also pressed for Equality Minister Ana Redondo’s resignation.
