The government of Pedro Sánchez maintains his bet on a Spanish socialist leads an international organization in a context of right-wing growth. The Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Luis Planas, will fight to be the next Secretary-General of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), but will have to face complicated candidacies to defeat, especially that of Irishman Phil Hogan.

The European Union will allow Catalan fishermen to fish in 2026 for the same number of days as this year, and they will not have to implement any additional environmental compensation measures beyond those already in place. This was announced at 3:00 AM this Saturday by the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Luis Planas, in a recorded video statement. Trawlers will be able to fish for 143 days throughout 2026 in Catalan waters. "We have achieved a good result, and I believe it is a clear success that I want to share with the fishermen, who have made many efforts," the Socialist leader stated.
