Junts Moves to Block All Government Bills, Leaving Sánchez Without a Working Majority

Junts cites broken promises on amnesty, EU Catalan status and immigration powers to justify a full veto.

Overview

  • Junts registered full-scope amendments against 25 government initiatives and will vote against 21 bills in the final stages, declaring the legislature “blocked.”
  • The party says it will also veto new proposals arriving from the Council of Ministers and warned that a state budget cannot pass under its stance.
  • Míriam Nogueras said there will be no further collaboration or negotiation and argued that PSOE-Sumar failed to honor core commitments to Catalonia.
  • Moncloa responded with a message of “open hand,” insisting it is complying or advancing pending pledges and remains willing to talk.
  • Junts has not joined a no-confidence motion with PP and Vox, but its seven deputies’ withdrawal strips the government of its investiture arithmetic as the PP declares the legislature finished.
