In a tense negotiation, the Spanish government, led by the PSOE, reached a last-minute agreement with Podemos to pass a global minimum tax law for multinationals.

Podemos, led by Ione Belarra, emphasized that their cooperation in Congress is not a sign of subordination, setting a significant precedent for future budget negotiations.

Belarra criticized the government for its conservative stance, accusing it of failing to propose progressive measures and relying on the support of Junts.

She highlighted the importance of left-wing votes, demanding a permanent tax on energy companies and a 40% reduction in rental prices.

Belarra also called for breaking diplomatic ties with Israel, accusing the government of complicity in the Gaza conflict.

The negotiation underscores the fragile balance of power in Spanish politics, with Podemos asserting its influence in shaping fiscal policies.
