Overview
- Moncloa set the first-round schedule: Jan. 19 with PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo (18:00), Jan. 20 with Sumar (10:00) and ERC (11:00), and Jan. 22 with EH Bildu (10:00) and PNV (11:00), with more meetings after Sánchez returns from Davos.
- Junts said it will not participate, stating it considers itself informed and does not see a meeting as necessary, reflecting broken relations since November.
- Vox is excluded from the consultations, consistent with the government's decision to leave the far-right party out of this round.
- Sánchez plans to ask the Congress of Deputies to authorize a Spanish peace mission to Ukraine once a ceasefire takes effect, as any deployment requires parliamentary approval.
- He also intends to seek authorization for a mission to Palestine contingent on a respected Gaza ceasefire, and the government signaled openness to a European surveillance mission in Greenland.
