Sánchez Reaffirms Galicia Pact Through 2027 as BNG Flags Gaps

His remarks come after renewed scrutiny over slow delivery of the BNG pact.

Overview

  • In a Congress exchange on October 8, Pedro Sánchez said his government will meet Galicia commitments through 2027 and aims to continue thereafter.
  • He cited €4.5 billion for the Atlantic Corridor to 2030 and €4.9 billion for F‑110 frigates, which the government expects to support about 6,000 jobs.
  • The executive highlighted toll discounts of up to 75% on the AP‑9 and AP‑53, described the A‑54 as operational, noted O Castro viaduct works on the A‑6, and reported progress on the Oural rail tunnel.
  • BNG deputy Néstor Rego called the execution record irregular and pressed for the AP‑9 ownership transfer law, new gender‑violence courts in Lugo and Pontevedra, and stronger funding for dependence.
  • The government pointed to delivered items such as gender‑violence courts in Santiago and Ourense and said pension revaluation covers roughly 700,000 retirees, lifting the average pension about 40% versus seven years ago.
