Spain Scales Back Lawmaking as PP Demands Elections, Peru’s JEE Declares 18 Presidential Slates Inadmissible

Sánchez’s team expects only about a dozen new laws before summer, prompting a pivot to measures that bypass Congress.

Overview

  • Following Extremadura’s vote, PP won 29 seats as PSOE fell to 18 and PP plus Vox reached 60.08% of the vote share.
  • Alberto Núñez Feijóo used his year-end briefing to argue the legislature is “finished” and to urge Pedro Sánchez to call early elections.
  • The Government told El País it will likely secure only around a dozen additional laws by summer due to complex arithmetic in Congress and tensions with Junts.
  • Government spokesperson Elma Saiz said there are many social measures the Cabinet can enact without parliamentary validation and reaffirmed plans to present a 2026 budget.
  • Peru’s JEE Lima Centro 1 ruled 18 presidential slates inadmissible and gave parties two days to correct paperwork, as Carlos Jaico also filed a tacha seeking to annul Fuerza Popular’s national Senate list.
