Congress will debate the vote of confidence in Sánchez proposed by Junts

The Congress Board admitted Junts's non-legislative proposal urging Pedro Sánchez to undergo a vote of confidence. The debate will take place on February 25 or March 11, depending on Junts's turn to present their initiatives in the plenary session.

Junts supports the Government's decree on pensions in exchange for their vote of confidence to be debated in Congress. The proposal was reformulated to clarify that the vote of confidence is Pedro Sánchez's prerogative.

Junts acknowledges that it is a political initiative without legally binding character for the Government of Spain. The Government already indicated that Pedro Sánchez will not undergo a vote of confidence, reaffirming its stability.

The Congress Board twice halted the decision before admitting the processing of the proposal presented by Junts. ERC has priority to present their proposal in February, but if they don't, Junts could advance their initiative.

If ERC presents their proposal, Junts will have to wait until the first plenary session in March for their official debate. Pedro Sánchez reiterated after the Council of Ministers that he doesn't consider it necessary to undergo a vote of confidence.

Junts's proposal reflects the tension between the Government and the pro-independence parties in the Congress of Deputies. Junts's support for the Government's decree is key to keeping measures like the revaluation of pensions in force.

The vote of confidence is a political mechanism that allows the president to verify the Congress's support for his management. Junts seeks to pressure Pedro Sánchez in a context of a fragile parliamentary majority and complex negotiations.

The Government defends that legislative stability is guaranteed despite the demands of parliamentary partners. The Congress Board's decision marks a new chapter in the relationship between Pedro Sánchez and Junts per Catalunya.

Junts aims to highlight the Government's dependence on their votes in Congress to maintain its legislative agenda. Pedro Sánchez's Executive trusts in its ability to negotiate support without needing to resort to a vote of confidence.

The outcome of the debate will influence the political dynamics between PSOE, Junts, and other government coalition partners. The vote of confidence proposed by Junts highlights the internal tensions of the current Spanish legislature. The debate in Congress will be a thermometer to measure the Government's political strength and its negotiation capacity.
