Overview
- Junts confirmed it will not negotiate the 2025 state budgets or any new major laws with the PSOE and it will hold no further Switzerland‑mediated meetings.
- Party spokesman Josep Rius said Sánchez "does not have a majority" and urged him to explain how he plans to govern, while signaling Junts will decide votes case by case.
- Junts told Zapatero and mediator Francisco Galindo at a 13 October meeting in Geneva that the relationship was "exhausted" and, for the first time, no follow‑up session was set.
- The split freezes the government’s plan to create a CNMC‑dependent unit to police so‑called pseudomedia in Barcelona, after Junts demanded inspection powers be transferred to Catalonia’s CAC under its competence push.
- The loss of Junts’ support clouds approval of the stability path, the general budget and pending board appointments at state firms, as the party pivots to a street campaign called "Junts s'explica a pie de calle" across about 100 municipalities.
