Tensions Rise in PSOE-Junts Talks

Published: 2024-12-14

A tense meeting between Spain's PSOE and Junts per Catalunya took place in Switzerland, aiming to address growing political disagreements.

The talks, part of a year-long series of negotiations, were overshadowed by accusations from Junts leader Carles Puigdemont, who criticized Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for failing to fulfill key agreements.

Puigdemont highlighted issues such as the lack of official EU recognition for the Catalan language and incomplete amnesty measures.

Despite the strained atmosphere, both parties agreed to continue discussions, though no date was set for the next meeting.

The outcome of these talks could significantly impact Sánchez's ability to pass the national budget and maintain political stability.
