Overview

• Lawmakers approved full‑text vetoes from PP, Vox and Junts, returning the draft to the Executive in a 178–170 vote.
• Yolanda Díaz defended the measure alone in the chamber as several PSOE ministers were largely absent, highlighting coalition strain.
• Major unions backed the reform with protests outside Congress, while CEOE, Cepyme and Catalan business groups praised its defeat.
• Junts argued the proposal threatened SMEs and lacked a reasonable transition, aligning with employer warnings about costs and productivity.
• The government plans to relaunch parts of the package, including a digital registro de jornada via regulation, though any increase in fines would still require a parliamentary change to LISOS.
