Overview

• José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and Juan Francisco Serrano will meet in Switzerland with Carles Puigdemont, Jordi Turull and Miriam Nogueras to revive stalled accords and take stock of government stability.
• Junts has hardened its strategy to a “no to everything, until further notice” and used its seven decisive seats to sink measures such as the shorter working day and an anticorruption office.
• Podemos plans to vote next week against the reform to transfer immigration powers to the Generalitat, a change previously negotiated between the Government and Junts.
• The Government signals it will keep moving its agenda through executive management and high-profile announcements even if Congress complicates the 2026 budget path.
• Junts ties its cooperation to pending concessions, including facilitating Puigdemont’s return, securing EU official status for Catalan and delivering the immigration transfer.
