Illa Emerges Intact From Catalan Policy Debate as Parliament Sets Resolution Votes

Upcoming resolution votes will test whether his slim alliance can turn pledges into policy.

Overview

  • Lawmakers vote today on dozens of party resolutions that, if approved, become obligations the Illa government must attempt to implement.
  • The PSC–ERC–Comuns investiture pact holds a narrow 68-seat majority, leaving stability uncertain and the 2026 budget still unresolved.
  • Housing dominated the agenda as Illa outlined reforms to enable 210,000 additional homes and said the Generalitat will manage 15,000 Sareb properties.
  • Esquerra pushes a singular financing model built on ordinality and steps toward allowing the Generalitat to collect personal income tax, with the PSC positioning reform as a way to bolster self-government.
  • Coalition partners escalate pressure on transport as Comuns seek to have Parliament censure the Govern over Rodalies, while Junts pursues a self-determination referendum text that is unlikely to pass.
