- Pedro Sánchez says he is willing to study proposals to delay shutdowns if plant owners guarantee safety and energy supply without shifting costs to taxpayers.
- Plant owners have formally requested pushing Almaraz’s closure to June 2030, and the PP’s amendment would also lift fixed end dates for Ascó and Cofrentes.
- The outcome could hinge on support or abstentions from Vox or Junts, and the mobility bill at issue is tied to €10 billion in EU funding.
