The debate has reopened after the latest judicial movements linked to the Plus Ultra case and the growing parliamentary wear and tear of the Executive. The opposition demands that citizens return to the polls, while some government partners warn that the legislature needs direction, a majority, and real capacity to approve measures.
Sánchez rules out calling early elections
The President of the Government argues that Spain needs stability and not an immediate call for elections. His official position remains to exhaust the legislature, despite the political climate opened up by the latest investigations and the pressure from the opposition.
The problem for the Executive is that the debate no longer depends solely on Moncloa. The continuity of the legislature is also conditioned by its parliamentary partners, by the capacity to approve budgets and by the accumulated wear and tear in a Congress that is increasingly difficult to manage.
The debate returns to the political center
For those who advocate for early elections, the political situation demands returning the decision to the citizens before 2027. They argue that the legislature is exhausted, that the government has lost momentum, and that the judicial agenda has altered the landscape.
For those who reject that option, calling elections now could increase instability and paralyze government action at a particularly sensitive time.
