The approval of the non-financial spending ceiling for 2027, an essential procedure to continue with the preparation of the Community Budget project for the next fiscal year, along with the debate on the consideration of the bill proposed by the Socialist Group on gender violence, will be the central issues of the next plenary session of the Cortes, scheduled for October 6 and 7.
In contrast to what happened with the two previous spending ceilings, when the PP, then governing alone, pushed through the non-financial spending limits thanks to the abstention of the PSOE, the one that the Junta has now submitted for 2027 will have the support of the two groups that sustain the coalition Executive, PP and Vox --those of Santiago Abascal voted against the spending ceilings of 2026 and 2025--.
Meanwhile, the Socialist Parliamentary Group will condition the direction of its vote on the detailed analysis of the draft submitted by the Junta, to which the spokesperson for the socialists, Carlos Martínez, has again reproached for never having accepted the "outstretched hand" of the PSOE, a party that allowed, with its position, the approval of two previous spending ceilings.
"I am convinced that when we know the fine print, the Socialist Group will not be able to support it, just as we have not been able to support what was proposed by the Table --for section 20--," the socialist has predicted. UPL has indicated that it will wait to study the document before taking a position and Soria ¡Ya! has already announced that, in any case, it will not support the spending ceiling.
Debate on the reform of the Gender Violence Law
The agenda of the plenary session also includes the consideration of the bill registered by the Socialist Group to adapt the regional Gender Violence Law to the state Pact of State, pending update since 2010. Carlos Martínez has described this initiative as a "collective text" and a "touchstone" for the PP, to which he has appealed for responsibility and warned not to try to "add by subtracting".
Awaiting to set the vote of her group in the parliamentary debate on Wednesday, the spokesperson for the Popular Group, Leticia García, has disqualified the socialist proposal as "posturing" and has reiterated her defense of "absolute consensus" against the "blackmail" that, in her view, the socialists exercised in the last legislature.
"I expect little from someone who takes on the Ministry, from a budget that is aligned with the Bible and the sacred scriptures of the government agreement that is always interpreted to the same side, towards cuts," has assumed for his part the spokesperson of the Socialist Group, who has insisted on demanding that the PP "remove the mask of hypocrisy" and support the consideration of the PPL that, at the outset, Vox plans to reject.
PNL and coordination between PP and Vox
As in each plenary session, four PNL will be debated, with the particularity that on this occasion one of them, focused on connectivity and the digital divide, appears jointly signed by PP and Vox, despite the fact that the latter was not entitled to an initiative of this type within the assigned quota.
The spokesperson of the Vox Parliamentary Group, David Hierro, has thanked the "goodwill" of the Popular Group for accepting the joint presentation of the proposal, which he has put as an example of the "good relationship" and coordination between the two government partners on a "very important" issue for the citizens. "So that later they tell us that we do not bring issues from Castilla y León," he has ironized.
