Congress has begun the process of withdrawing the rights of deputies from Abalos
The Government will be left with one less Member, since Ábalos has tended to vote in line with the PSOE, and given that Junts has announced his vote against all the Government's proposals, things will become a little more difficult for the Government in Congress.

Congress has appealed to the Supreme Court to confirm the decision to send former Minister José Luis Ábalos to prison and thus initiate proceedings to suspend his rights as a member of the Joint Group, including salary and voting.
This has been advanced by sources from the Lower House minutes after Supreme Court Judge Leopoldo Puente provisionally ordered Ábalos and his former adviser, Koldo García, to be placed in prison without bail.
The Bureau of Congress shall decide to suspend the parliamentary powers of the former Minister in accordance with Article 21.2 of the Rules of Procedure of the House, which provides that Members of Parliament shall be suspended from their rights and duties while in pre-trial detention or when the sentence is final and the execution of such a sentence prevents them from performing their duties.
Ábalos shall not lose his minutes as a Member of Parliament, but shall not be able to cast his vote or receive his salary as a Member of Parliament, nor may he exercise any other prerogative relating to his nature, such as to submit questions to the Government.
Review the majority?
In this context, since there are no 350 operational Members but 349, it is not ruled out that any group should raise a debate on whether or not to change the majorities of the House, which lawyers will have to consider.
In principle, it is a single vote of 350, and it does not have much effect on the votes. However, the Government will be left with one less Member, since Ábalos has tended to vote in line with the PSOE, and given that Junts has already announced his vote against all the proposals of the Government, things will become a little more difficult for the Government in Congress.
Nor is it decisive in votes by a reinforced majority, since the organic laws require at least 176 votes (an absolute majority of 350), which can now be passed to 175.5, which, for practical purposes, will result in 176 deputies.
