In a recent political showdown, the Spanish government narrowly avoided an urgent parliamentary session to address the escalating migration crisis, thanks to a voting deadlock.

The Permanent Deputation of Congress witnessed a dramatic tie, with Junts and Podemos breaking ranks with the ruling coalition, nearly forcing Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to explain the government's handling of the situation.

The crisis has overwhelmed the Canary Islands, with over 20,000 migrants arriving this year, including many unaccompanied minors.

Junts joined forces with the opposition PP to demand accountability, highlighting regional disparities in migrant distribution.

Meanwhile, Podemos abstained, criticizing the government's approach and accusing right-wing parties of inciting racial tensions.

The political landscape remains volatile, with calls for transparency on fiscal agreements with Catalonia also stirring debate.
