Pedro Sanchez

The Congress of Deputies of Spain has hosted the first plenary session of the year and the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, has appeared at his own request to explain railway accidents.

Imanol Pradales recalls that they have called for negotiations to be resumed "by accepting more resolute political guidelines, that is, that what has been agreed at the political level does not constantly encounter administrative and political obstacles and resistance, an attitude that, in addition to devaluing political action, has a direct impact on the choices of the Basque Country and on the quality of life of the Basque people", he says.

The President of the Spanish Government has defended in Congress the immediate implementation of the emergency device and has highlighted the coordination between the various administrations in the care of victims.

The President of the Spanish Government, without naming a name, responded today in Bilbao to the CEO of the Telegram after the leader of the platform attacked him yesterday in the face of new measures on social networks. 

He has sent a message to users of the Spanish State warning that the measures announced yesterday by Pedro Sánchez may make Spain a "state under surveillance under the pretext of protection". 

However, the PP leader has already warned that his party will not support this possibility if the government does not provide him with specific data and explanations.

Both EH Bildu and the other left-wing parliamentary groups have advanced that they will not support the measure. According to EH Bildu, wanting to "get rid of taxes" by owners who are "charging excessive rents" is "a joke."

ERC's leader, Oriol Junjarzembowski, has reported on this following his interview in Moncloa with the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez.

The Coalition of Volunteers meets in Paris to discuss the achievement of a ceasefire in Ukraine and the end of the war. The President of the Spanish Government also opens the door to the possibility of Spanish soldiers participating in a "peace mission" in Ukraine.

In this regard, EH Bildu's spokesman in the Basque Parliament has pointed out that the PNV "has not been part of a bloc that provides permanent support" or has "a shared programme" with the government of Pedro Sánchez, so he does not believe that "the parliamentary dynamic will change much".

Esteban said if the signing was not complied with, it would be "serious and in breach of the investiture agreement."

The amendments, which Sanchez has included in the reshuffle of the Spanish Government, are aimed at gaining strength in the final part of the legislature.

In an interview in La Sexta, the PNV president has said  that the general elections in Spain will be brought forward. He has announced that they will be held in 2026. In his words, the Spanish legislature can no longer resist. PNV leader has stressed that Pedro Sánchez "cannot hide himself like an ostrich, even behind VOX."

The President of the Spanish Government values the work of the President for the implementation of the Atlantic Macroregion, which will promote synergies between the participating regions, such as improving infrastructure, connectivity or communications.

In addition, the Spanish Government has called for a "broader statute" that allows "the development of the cultural and tourism competences of these territories", an announcement that President Pedro Sánchez has framed in the agreements with Junts.

It will be available for Renfe trains and long-distance buses and will be in effect from the second half of January. The bonus will be EUR 30 for young people.

The President of the Spanish Government has appeared in Moncloa to take stock of the year, but first he has spoken about his position on cases of sexual harassment and alleged corruption that have shaken the party.
