El Congreso aprueba con el apoyo de Junts y Vox la moción del PP que pide la dimisión de Pedro Sánchez y una cuestión de confianza
Summary
Spain's Congress approved, with the support of Junts and Vox, a Popular Party motion calling for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to resign and submit to a confidence vote. In the same session, the pro-independence Junts also helped strike down a government decree, abstained on another concerning the youth transport subsidy, and backed two laws. The vote, though non-binding, marks a symbolic blow to the government.
