Congress will once again have a dizzying day on Thursday, with the debate and vote on the path to stability and the spending ceilinga step before the presentation of the General State Budgets, still pending and awaiting the vote of the Junts again.
The party led by Carles Puigdemont already reversed the 2025-2027 stability trajectory in Congress in July and threatens to do so again, which would be a new blow to the government of which he was one of the investiture partners. It would also add to the punishment he already inflicted on it last week, when At the last minute, he changed his vote and rejected, together with PP and Vox, Sumar’s proposal. regulate seasonal rental and room contracts.
The government has already made it clear, through the Vice President and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Monterothat even if they fail to advance on the path, they will present, with the current stability objectives, the 2025 budgets on the same Thursday, before the debate on the spending ceiling and at the request of the PP, Montero. will also report on the single financing for Catalonia agreed between the CPS and the ERC for the investiture of Salvador Illa.
Along with the Catalan model, the debate has also opened on a new regional financing system, which has become another battleground between the government and the main opposition party.
THE The 2025 budgets and regional funding will be the highlights of the week parliamentary session in Congress, where the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, will not pass – because he is outside Spain. Without his usual face-to-face with the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, in the control session of the Executive on Wednesday, the most political questions will be directed to Montero, to whom the popular will ask if “to govern is to resist” and, if possible, to continue in government without budgets or new laws.
Podemos’ question goes in the same direction: does it believe it can govern without parliamentary support? Venezuela will once again sneak into the room, with questions about the crisis opened after the Cortes recognized Edmundo González Urrutia as the winner of the July presidential elections. The day before, Tuesday afternoon, during the control session in the Senate, the main topic will be regional financing, since most of the PP’s questions and interpellations to ministers will refer to it.
The foundation established by the King Emeritus in Abu Dhabi, in which ERC is interested, and the Immigration as the first concern of the Spanish according to the CEIinterviewed by Vox, stand out among the rest of the issues that await the government in the Senate on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the PP will approve with a large majority in the Upper House the launch of the parliamentary process of a reform of the National Defense Law on military aid shipments abroad, and will also approve a motion to complain about the delay in Congress in giving effect to the bills approved in the Senate.
In another motion, the PP will proceed to disapprove the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, for the railway chaos of the summer.
