• The letter, signed by Senate spokeswoman Alicia García, asserts the only way to avoid the obligation would be to step down from the premiership.
• The PP cites the March 2025 rules change requiring the head of government to answer questions in the Senate plenary at least once a month during ordinary sessions.
• García announced an urgent summons for Equality Minister Ana Redondo to the next plenary over the ‘pulseras antimaltrato’ case, with a motion on her dismissal to be debated and voted.
• The PP also scheduled Oct. 9 committee appearances in the Koldo inquiry, including Claudia Montes and Tribunal de Cuentas president Enriqueta Chicano, while sharpening attacks on Vox and outlining immigration priorities.
