Overview

• PSOE spokesperson Patxi López formally asked the Congreso’s Permanent Commission to suspend the Sept. 11 plenary out of respect for Catalonia’s Diada.
• The Catalan government welcomed the move, while the PP opposed it and noted that the chamber has not suspended a plenary for a regional holiday in 47 years.
• PP deputy Ester Muñoz questioned the timing, pointing to court summonses that day for Begoña Gómez and Moncloa adviser Cristina Álvarez as investigadas before Judge Juan Carlos Peinado.
• A decision is pending from the Permanent Commission, and reporting indicates ERC and Junts are likely to support the proposal, which would require reworking the plenary agenda.
• Some coverage highlights potential calendar effects on scheduled votes, including the convalidation timetable for Royal Decree Law 9/2025.
