Overview
- Lawmakers approved taking the reform into consideration with a broad majority supported by PSOE and PP, as Vox voted no and Podemos abstained.
- Podemos warned it will oppose the final text unless it can raise the minimum number of deputies to 47 and add a sixth regionwide constituency.
- The draft strengthens social rights and safeguards public services, elevates housing and access to water, and adds rights tied to digital access and the environment.
- The proposal lifts the chamber’s ceiling from 33 to up to 55 seats, creates a regional tax agency, narrows legal privileges for officials, and allows regional decree-laws.
- The text reasserts Spain’s “indissoluble unity,” a clause read as a signal to pro‑independence parties, and is slated to proceed to the Senate after the commission stage, with the regional goal of final approval before summer 2026.
