Overview
- Junts reaffirmed there will be no reversal of its decision to block all government initiatives, with deputy spokesman Josep Maria Cruset urging Sánchez to stop "burying his head in the sand."
- The government insists it will present the 2026 General Budgets and is weighing substantial Catalonia‑focused investments to try to recover Junts’ support, according to Moncloa‑aligned reporting.
- Parliamentary reporting indicates the 2026 accounts will not be tabled this year and that current budgets will be extended into January, even as talks continue with ERC, PNV, Bildu and Sumar.
- Yolanda Díaz warned that Junts is effectively helping PP and Vox with its obstruction and declared "whoever obstructs pays the price."
- PP sources say they will intensify their legislative push on taxes, energy and security, explore votes with Vox and coincident Junts positions, and promote a pensions revaluation bill; in Seville, the PP‑A congress elevated Juanma Moreno’s moderate line after Isabel Díaz Ayuso canceled and Miguel Tellado delivered a fierce anti‑PSOE speech.
