Following the veto by Junts and the PP on the omnibus decree, the Spanish government has been forced to fragment it to salvage the pension increase and, on the other hand, has introduced measures favoring small property owners by suspending evictions to secure the votes of the PNV and curry favor. "These are all good measures," argued the Spanish government spokesperson, Elma Saiz, downplaying the backtracking that Moncloa has had to undertake on this occasion. after last week's setback in CongressAnd despite what she had previously said, she has separated pensions from anti-eviction measures in an attempt to protect them. However, they are far from guaranteed: while Junts (and also the PP) support the pension increase, and it is guaranteed, both Junts and the PP have already expressed their rejection of the decree that includes the social safety net. Nogueras herself posted a video on Instagram: "Pending reading the fine print, we at JxCat can say that we will vote against extending a measure that not only doesn't solve the problem, but is unfair, because who is paying the price for this social safety net, which the so-called Spanish left is so fond of talking about?" If they ultimately abstain, it would depend on the affirmative votes of Podemos, which opposed the measures to "protect" small property owners that the Spanish government has agreed upon with the PNV.

Pedro Sánchez ends the year with an electoral defeat in Extremadura and without resolving his differences with Sumar, the junior partner in the Spanish government, although this Tuesday he was able to boast about his social agenda with the approval of several measures in the last cabinet meeting of 2025. The PSOE's abstention in the investiture of María Guardiola (PP) will allow her to govern without the far-right Vox party, unlike what former Extremadura president Juan Carlos Rodríguez Ibarra proposed in recent hours. Guardiola, who has not ruled out a pact with Vox, has praised Ibarra's position as "sensible," especially since her ambition is to govern alone, without depending on anyone—in fact, that is why she called early elections. Meanwhile, the PP headquarters in Madrid is avoiding comment. Sources at Moncloa Palace, however, completely downplay this scenario and assure that the door "is closed," although the newly appointed spokesperson for the Spanish government, Elma Saiz, appealed this Tuesday to "the responsibility of all political forces" to keep Vox out of the institutions. "The PP wanted to get rid of Vox and has managed to become more tied to them than ever," Saiz remarked. In the opinion of the Spanish government, the issue transcends Vox because the PP already represents its agenda, and they exemplify this with the attitude of the mayor of Badalona, ​​Xavier García Albiol, who has evicted hundreds of people who lived in the former B9 Institute. In fact, Pedro Sánchez has long followed the strategy of lumping the two parties together, as seen in the Valencian case and with climate change denial.
