PSOE Aragón Offers Votes to Pass 2026 Spending Cap, Presses Azcón to Negotiate Budgets

Support hinges on full budget details and concrete commitments on housing, public services, and Zaragoza tram projects.

Overview

  • Pilar Alegría said the party will attend Wednesday’s meeting with President Jorge Azcón and is ready to approve the regional spending cap for 2026.
  • The PSOE demands the full budget text, criticizing that only presentation slides have been shown so far, before entering detailed negotiations.
  • Socialists set priorities that include more public housing, improvements in health and education, free schooling from 0 to 3 years, and the tram extension to Arcosur.
  • Alegría urged Azcón to choose talks with the PSOE over dependence on Vox, calling his administration constrained by the far right.
  • Azcón has suggested he could call early elections if he cannot pass the budget soon, and Alegría said she would change her national government roles if that happens without giving a timeline.
