Junts and ERC once again corner Pedro Sánchez's Government: neither 'social shield' nor Budgets

The Catalan parties Junts and ERC are poised to reject the Spanish government's social protection decree, putting further pressure on Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez regarding budget negotiations.

In a significant political maneuver, the Catalan separatist parties Junts per Catalunya and ERC are intensifying their opposition to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's government. Junts plans to join forces with PP, Vox, and UPN in the Spanish Congress to overturn a key decree known as the 'social shield,' which was established to provide protections against evictions. This coalition not only demonstrates the fragmented political landscape in Spain but also reflects the mounting pressures on Sánchez from regional factions increasingly unwilling to compromise.
