Illa Emerges Intact From Debate as Parliament Sets Resolution Votes on Housing and Financing

The coming ballot will gauge whether his PSC‑ERC‑Comuns bloc can convert pledges into enforceable policy.

Overview

  • The PSC, ERC and Comuns hold a slim 68‑seat absolute majority that does not guarantee a stable bloc or a clear path to a 2026 budget.
  • Parties filed housing measures for a vote, including a Comuns plan to ban speculative purchases and rehabilitate 150,000 flats, ERC’s €2.6 billion rehabilitation program and the CUP’s proposal for a public builder.
  • The governing partners seek fresh parliamentary pressure for a financing overhaul based on ordinalidad and for the Generalitat to collect all income tax, both approved last year but not implemented.
  • Junts will ask the chamber to endorse negotiating a self‑determination referendum and to recognize 1‑O and the declaration of independence, moves that lack sufficient support to advance.
  • Immigration split the parties as PP, Vox and Aliança Catalana pushed expulsions or deportations of unaccompanied minors and the Comuns called for a pact separating migration from crime, with disputes over Rodalies and El Prat also heading to votes.
