Junts Pushes Confidence Vote Debate

Published: 2025-02-21

The Spanish Congress is set to debate a proposal by Junts urging Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to consider a confidence vote.

While the motion lacks legal weight, it aims to highlight the government's perceived parliamentary weakness.

Junts seeks support from the right-wing PP and Vox, though Vox has expressed skepticism, calling the proposal "paper-thin.

" The PP appears to be the only likely ally, as other government partners, including EH Bildu and PNV, have signaled opposition or abstention.

The PSOE downplays the motion's significance, viewing it as a political maneuver.

The debate underscores the fragile alliances in Spain's parliament and the ongoing tensions between Junts and Sánchez's government.
