Sánchez Fast-Tracks Junts’ Multirecidivism Bill After Break Threatens His Majority

A Justice Committee debate set for Wednesday will test whether the government can secure votes beyond its fractured bloc.

Overview

  • Juntsspokesperson Miriam Nogueras declared the split with the PSOE irreversible and said the government will not be able to legislate.
  • Junts moved to block more than 50 government bills by filing full objections across the board, escalating its shift from partner to parliamentary blocker.
  • The Congress unblocked Junts’ bill targeting repeat offenses, with the Justice Committee convened to examine amendments next Wednesday.
  • Government sources fear the measure lacks backing on the left, and Podemos questions whether it can pass without PP support, a scenario that risks new frictions with investiture allies.
  • PNV is pressing to advance the initiative, Moncloa insists it will table next year’s budget plan, and Junts signals it will not obstruct EU‑linked laws such as the sustainable mobility bill tied to a €10 billion disbursement.
