The government is heading into another crucial vote for the continuation of the legislature without any guaranteed support. Next Tuesday, the spending ceiling will be debated, an essential step before any discussion of the 2026 budget can begin. At the time of writing, the People's Party (PP) was the only party defending it. Although it has held talks with Vox and the Socialist Party of the Balearic Islands (PSIB), the current feeling is that the government has given up hope. This deadlock has been the general trend of the legislature, in which the Executive has too often found itself cornered by its partners and even unable to reach agreements on legislation. In response, it has legislated primarily through royal decrees, a measure intended for "cases of extraordinary and urgent need," according to Article 86.1 of the Spanish Constitution, and has submitted fewer bills than in previous legislatures.
