Overview

• The Diputación Permanente meets Tuesday to debate up to nine urgent appearance requests filed by the Partido Popular, beginning with a bid to call Pedro Sánchez to account.
• The opposition seeks explanations over alleged corruption around the prime minister’s circle, citing the indictment of Begoña Gómez, the probe into Leire Díez, and unmet GRECO recommendations.
• PP demands also target eight ministers on issues ranging from debt relief negotiations with ERC and support for the attorney general to rail disruptions, wildfire response, migration pressures, a Huawei contract for phone interceptions, and claims of sexism in government.
• Approval hinges on votes from nationalist and leftist partners, with the PP courting Junts, ERC, PNV and Podemos to advance extraordinary sessions that could be scheduled this week.
• The crowded docket follows a slower August set by the PSOE, turning today’s sitting into a concentrated test of the government’s parliamentary backing.
