Junts Freezes Support for Sánchez as Podemos Moves to Sink Catalonia Migration Transfer

The freeze underscores a weakened majority following Podemos’s vow to vote down the migration delegation to the Generalitat.

Overview

  • Junts confirmed it is suspending active backing in Congress without a formal rupture, keeping talks open and planning another Switzerland meeting after the latest round yielded no progress.
  • Podemos says the bill’s preamble is racist and will vote against the delegation of immigration powers, making next week’s congressional test likely to fail.
  • Socialist officials insist they honored their pact with Junts by drafting and submitting the law, while Junts complains that promises discussed in Switzerland have not been implemented in Madrid.
  • Junts signals it may also withhold votes from Félix Bolaños’s judicial‑career reform, a bill facing disputes over language requirements that critics say Junts is blocking for leverage.
  • With seven Junts deputies and Podemos both wielding veto power in a fragmented chamber, Sánchez’s wider agenda—including future budgets—faces heightened risk.
