Overview
- In a forceful speech in Congress, spokesperson Míriam Nogueras told Pedro Sánchez that “this relationship is over” and accused him of having blocked the legislature.
- Junts said it will veto virtually all government initiatives except measures already agreed, formalizing a near-total parliamentary blockade.
- The rupture is tied to what Junts calls unmet commitments, including a multirecidivism law, action on illegal occupations, funding for ELA patients, publication of fiscal balances, and addressing Catalonia’s underfunding in the state budget.
- The stance threatens the government’s working majority and raises the risk of legislative paralysis in Spain’s fragmented Parliament.
- ERC’s Gabriel Rufián rebuked Junts in the same debate, accused the party of lying, and warned against any pact with the PP, claiming conservatives have courted Junts.
