"In this legislature, we have had to work with a Congress with a lot of fighting. Where reaching agreements has been confused with betrayal, and blocking with convincing." This is how the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has defined his experience in Parliament, as a display of how he has suffered to approve legislative proposals, since mainly Junts and, to a lesser extent, Podemos have been a thorn in his side. The housing decree laws are the latest example. However, the calling of elections and the dissolution of the Courts grant Pedro Sánchez a second opportunity to approve issues that until now have been impossible for him. He will be able to do so via decree laws (which cannot regulate, for example, fundamental rights and must only be done for urgent matters). For what reason? Because the permanent deputation comes into operation. It is a parliamentary body, a kind of mini-Parliament, that operates when elections are called or during vacation periods. It is currently made up of 69 deputies in a proportional representation of the groups in the chamber. However, unlike the plenary session, in this body, the progressive majority does not depend on Junts to push measures forward: Junts (1), the PP (27), and Vox (6) add up to 34 votes and remain one short of the majority.
