Overview

• Congress votes are set for this week, with Tuesday's session to validate the arms‑embargo decree and Wednesday's final vote on the sustainable mobility law.
• Podemos has not disclosed its position, and parliamentary arithmetic suggests an abstention could allow the mobility law to pass while a no vote could sink the embargo decree.
• Podemos demands a “real, effective” embargo without exceptions for subsidiaries, transit checks, or use of foreign bases, and partners have urged converting the decree into a bill to amend gaps.
• Junts said last week it will back the decree, leaving the fate of the measure effectively in Podemos' hands.
• The mobility law is tied to unlocking €10 billion from the EU recovery plan, and Podemos previously linked its support to halting expansions at El Prat airport and the Port of Valencia, though its tone on Monday was more cautious.
