Key initiatives include reducing the workweek to 37.5 hours and establishing a new intern statute.

Sánchez plans to invest €3.1 billion in loans to reindustrialize Spain, funded by European resources, and aims to modernize public services.

A significant reform of the regional financing system is also on the agenda, promising more equitable distribution of resources among autonomous communities.
