"In this legislature we have had to work with a Congress with a lot of fighting. Where agreeing has been confused with betraying and blocking with convincing". This is how the Spanish President, Pedro Sánchez, defined his experience in Parliament in a sign of how he has suffered to approve legislative proposals, since mainly Junts and, to a lesser extent, Podemos have been his thorn in the 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 chance 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 be done only 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 there are holiday periods. It is currently made up of 69 deputies in a proportional representation of the groups in the chamber. However, unlike the plenary, in this body the progressive majority does not depend on Junts to move measures forward: Junts (1), the PP (27) and Vox (6) add up to 34 votes and are one short of the majority.
