Overview

• Spain will bring its Israel arms‑embargo decree to Congress next week without guaranteed backing from Podemos or Junts, and government sources are weighing whether a PP abstention could secure convalidation before the Oct. 21 deadline.
• Sumar wants the decree opened as a bill to tighten it, while Podemos attacks the text as a “fake” due to an exceptional‑interest clause, leaving the minority executive short of a reliable majority.
• The sustainable mobility law also faces an uncertain vote despite links to roughly €10 billion in EU funds, and parliamentary sources say the government may look to UPN to break a potential tie.
• PP’s rightward turn on immigration is being reflected regionally, with the party voting alongside Vox in Valencia to audit the cost of irregular migration as Vox accuses the PP of copying its agenda.
• Peru’s justice minister, Juan José Santiváñez, quit to pursue a 2026 run as Congress had slated a censure debate for Oct. 3, and the government noted that a court order granting ex‑president Pedro Castillo a pension is under appeal but must be followed when final.
