Government Secures Pension Deal

Published: 2025-01-29

The Spanish government has reached a crucial agreement with Junts to ensure the revaluation of pensions based on inflation.

This deal also extends public transport subsidies and provides aid to those affected by natural disasters.

After intense negotiations, the government managed to reverse a parliamentary defeat and secure support for its social measures.

The agreement includes a controversial concession to debate a vote of confidence in Congress, though Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has stated he will not submit to it.

The pact highlights the challenges of governing in a fragmented parliament but allows the government to move forward with its agenda, including the upcoming budget discussions.
