  • The Spanish Government has managed to revalue pensions according to inflation and extend public transport subsidies after overcoming a parliamentary defeat
  • It secured the support of Junts, reversing the effects of the 'omnibus' decree rejected by the PP, Junts and Vox
  • The Executive, led by Pedro Sánchez, has started the debate on the State General Budget
  • The agreement reached has significant implications for the Junts party and distances its approach to the PP
  • The use of the 'omnibus' decree generated social stress especially among the most vulnerable citizens
  • The Government has managed to move forward with its 'social shield' and has made some cosmetic concessions

Conclusion: Despite challenges and political tensions, the Spanish Government has managed to overcome a significant legislative crisis. However, it is recommended that it strive more to reach agreements with the opposition, and focus less on self-pleasure for its achievements.
