Summary

Spain's Transport Ministry says investments in the rail operator Renfe and the ports network are safe after Congress struck down a royal decree containing 936 million euros in extraordinary financing. The decree fell when Junts voted alongside the PP, VOX and UPN, but the ministry says Renfe and the ports had already received their allocations. The defeat marks another parliamentary setback for the government.
