The initiative, which sought to transfer powers over immigration to the Catalan government, was rejected on Tuesday after several of Sánchez’s own left-wing allies broke ranks and opposed the deal.
Delegating control over migration was seen as a major concession to Catalan nationalists, who have long demanded greater autonomy from Madrid.
Opposition parties PP and Vox voted en bloc against the plan, but it was the rebellion from the left that ultimately proved decisive.
