Overview
- Ministers were told to submit three or four concrete social proposals each for 2026 that can be implemented without parliamentary validation.
- Saiz argued many actions can be taken administratively and rejected the idea of governing against the Cortes, noting more than 50 laws have passed this term.
- The government plans to present the 2026 budget in the first quarter with talks under way, though backing remains uncertain and Junts says ties are broken.
- Examples under consideration include a new minimum wage level guided by expert recommendations of €1,221–€1,240 in 14 payments, while a €100 eyewear subsidy for minors is already in force.
- The dual track seeks visible, low‑outlay measures alongside legislation on items like pensions and public pay, aiming to regain momentum after scandals and the PSOE’s setback in Extremadura.
