Junts Formalizes Break With Sánchez, Files Veto Motions to Block Government Legislation

The move strips Sánchez of a working majority, jeopardizing the 2026 budget path alongside scores of bills.

Overview

  • Junts registered total-veto amendments to 25 government bills and will vote against 21 measures in their final stages, declaring the legislature "blocked."
  • The party says it will reject all initiatives from PSOE and Sumar going forward, yet it rules out supporting a PP–Vox motion of no confidence.
  • Government sources reply with an offer of dialogue, asserting they are meeting commitments within their control and promising to accelerate pending deliverables.
  • Key Junts demands—such as immigration powers, anti-recidivism and language recognition—depend on other parties like Podemos or on EU and judicial decisions.
  • Without Junts’s seven deputies, the executive risks failing to pass the 2026 budget and faces warnings of broader legislative paralysis tied to EU-linked reforms and funds.
