Overview
- Junts' executive meeting in Perpignan unanimously moved to interrupt the two‑year pact that enabled Pedro Sánchez's investiture.
- With Junts' seven deputies often decisive, the withdrawal jeopardizes the PSOE‑Sumar minority and throws the 2026 state budget into doubt.
- The party cites unmet promises on EU recognition of Catalan, devolved immigration powers, and an amnesty for Carles Puigdemont, who remains under a Spanish arrest warrant.
- Puigdemont announced a militants' referendum for Wednesday and Thursday to ratify the decision.
- The PSOE expressed "absolute respect" and pledged continued dialogue as Junts contends with the rise of the far‑right independentist Aliança Catalana.
