Overview

  • PSOE spokesman Patxi López has formally petitioned to halt the Sept. 11 session, which will be considered by the Comisión/Diputación Permanente and taken up in the next junta de portavoces.
  • The PP rejects the move, noting the Chamber has not suspended a plenary for a regional holiday in 47 years, and questions whether the timing relates to Begoña Gómez’s court appearance or a thin legislative agenda.
  • Begoña Gómez is summoned to declare as an investigada before Judge Juan Carlos Peinado on Sept. 11 in a probe that includes alleged embezzlement.
  • Junts’ seven deputies are expected to be absent for the Diada as per their usual practice, potentially reducing government votes if the plenary goes ahead.
  • Reporting indicates Real Decreto‑Ley 9/2025 on extending paid parental leave faces a Sept. 11 convalidation deadline, heightening the risk if attendance is limited.
