The vote yielded the exact same result as the first attempt a week ago. PP, Vox, Junts, and UPN expressed their rejection with a total of 176 “no” votes—thus surpassing the absolute majority threshold. Following this second vote against, the government maintains its commitment to finally present a State Budget bill, despite knowing full well that it will most likely fail to pass. It will explore a new path: sending a Budget bill to Parliament with more restrictive deficit margins aligned with the strict fiscal rules set by the European Commission. Ultimately, this means Autonomous Communities will not have the 0.1% GDP margin to spend (€5.84 billion over three years) by running a deficit.
