The votes scheduled in the Senate Plenary this Wednesday have suffered a delay of several minutes due to a problem in the electronic voting system, which has led the Upper House to contact individually with each of the senators who had authorization to cast this vote.

"This has been announced by the President of the Senate, Pedro Rollán, during this Wednesday's plenary session, where he explained that the failure was caused when validating the telematic vote of some senators, causing a delay of almost an hour."

"Among Wednesday's votes, a bill from Junts on administrative procedures or another bill from the PP on tributes to ETA members stand out."
