Spanish government to re-approve housing decrees on Tuesday

The Spanish Government will re-approve the HousingDecrees at the Council of Ministers meeting this Tuesday.

After the head of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, advanced the elections to 29 November  , government sources have indicated that they intend to readmit these decrees.

If they are adopted, they must be approved by Parliament within one month, and being dissolved, the Permanent Councilis empowered to do so.

This body acts as a substitute for the plenary of Congress, so that certain special functions are not neglected by the dissolution of the House or by the end of its term of office.

Unlike the plenary session of Congress, the Government would have a sufficient majority in the Permanent Council to approve at least one of the two decrees that were suspended last week, as Junts' vote would not be necessary.

The Permanent Council consists of 68 deputies, plus the President of Congress, Francina Armengol: 27 PP, 24 PSOE (25 with the sum of Armengol), 6 Vox, 6 Suber and 1 ERC, PNV, Junts, Bildu and Mixto (corresponding to Podemos).

With this division, if the votes of the groups were maintained, the decree containing most of the housing measures could be passed.

Then the votes of the parties that supported it would be 35, 34 of the PP, Vox and Junts.

In the case of the second decree, which provides for automatic replenishment of rents, if thePNVhad voted again against , it would not succeed.
