Junts, a key Catalan political party, escalated its criticism of the spanishโ goverment on october 22, 2025, signaling a potential shift inโค itsโ support for โขPrime Minister pedro Sรกnchez and issuing whatโข it termed an “umpteenthโข ultimatum.” โคThe move comesโฃ amid growing frustration withinโ Junts over stalled legislation addressing issues like repeat offenses, housing occupations, and concerns affecting the self-employed.
The heightened rhetoric reflects a broader tension in โขthe governing โขcoalition, were Junts has repeatedly voiced dissatisfaction with the pace of progress on agreed-upon policy objectives.โฃ The party argues that โcitizens are increasingly disillusioned with the lack of resolution to pressing problems, citing specific examples โsuch as unresolved crime, โunresolved apartment occupations, and delays in infrastructure projects. โขThis latest challenge raises questions aboutโ theโ stability of Sรกnchez’s government, which relies on the support of Junts and โคother regionalโข parties to maintain a parliamentary majority.
Junts representatives have asserted that “people โare fed up” with unfulfilled promises and a perceived lack of action. Specifically, the party highlighted the blockage of a proposed law โคaimed at addressing multiple recidivism, as well as a stalled law intended toโ combat apartment occupations.โข Concerns were also raised โคregarding the situation facedโข by self-employed workers and ongoing delays in railway infrastructure improvements.
