He Government suffered a new setback at the Congress of Deputies this Tuesday, by losing the vote on the proposal to allow the amendment of the Urban Leases Act to be processed and to limit seasonal and room rentals. The initiative was promoted by Sumar, ERC, Bildu, Podemos and BNG, Pedro Sanchez’s investiture partnersPresident of the Government. The leader of the executive, María Jesús Montero, first vice president and Minister of Finance, and Yolanda Díaz, second vice president and Minister of Labor, were shocked when they saw the result of the vote. Once again, Junts withdrew its parliamentary support for the government, limiting their options within the legislature. The face of Sánchez, Moreno and Díaz on the blue bench of Congress is a poem.
This Tuesday’s vote This is not the first time that Junts has overturned, causing the government to lose Congress. The most notable occurred on July 23, a month and a half ago, when the Catalan party cancelled the approval of the spending ceiling. This happened in the middle of negotiations between the Socialist Party and the ERC to invest in Salvador Illa as president of the Generalitat. The coalition government suffered its first parliamentary defeat on January 10, 2024, when Podemos annulled the decree-law drafted by Yolanda Díaz’s ministry that provided for a reform of unemployment benefits.
