Junts Ends PSOE Pact, Moves to Opposition and Puts Sanchez's Majority at Risk

Junts blames unmet promises in the Brussels accord for the split.

Overview

  • With the party’s seven deputies now withholding support, key government votes such as the national budget, justice reform and new media rules are in jeopardy.
  • The shift follows an internal consultation in which more than 86% of Junts members endorsed breaking the agreement.
  • Junts is urging partners like the PNV, Coalición Canaria and Podemos to reconsider their backing of Pedro Sanchez.
  • The party says it will not, for now, align with the PP or pursue a no-confidence motion, and it is not pushing for an immediate election.
  • Analysts caution that the move could dilute Junts’ influence, drive voters toward Aliança Catalana and undermine its standing with international mediators.
