Junts Blocks All Government Bills, Leaving Sánchez Without Votes for Laws or Budgets

Moncloa counters with an 'open hand' message, saying it is honoring the pacts.

Overview

  • Junts formally filed blanket amendments to return 25 government bills and said it will vote against 21 measures already in advanced processing, vowing to veto any new proposals that reach Congress.
  • Míriam Nogueras declared the legislature 'blocked' and asserted there will be no approval of state budgets or flagship initiatives unless the PSOE finds support from the PP or Vox.
  • The party justified the rupture by citing unmet commitments, including an amnesty framework, recognition of Catalan in European institutions, and the transfer of immigration competences and resources to Catalonia.
  • Government and PSOE sources reiterated a stance of dialogue, arguing they are complying with agreements where they have sole authority and are working on those requiring other institutions.
  • The PP branded the term 'finished' and pressed for elections, while Junts has not joined a PP–Vox no‑confidence push; separately, PP and Vox negotiations over the Valencian presidency continue with Juanfran Pérez Llorca as a leading option.
