The PP has given its approval this Tuesday in the Economy, Budgets and Finance commission of Les Corts to Vox's amendments to the Generalitat's budget bill for 2026 in the area of social services. These modifications introduce the principle of national priority that Santiago Abascal's party claims to support the regional accounts and establish a "verifiable" residency requirement. The PP and Vox majority against PSPV and Compromís (7-6) has been repeated in all votes.
Throughout the morning, amendments relating to Health; Social Services, Family and Childhood; and Education, Culture and Universities have been addressed. In the afternoon, the debate on proposals for Agriculture, Water, Livestock and Fisheries, as well as those for Justice, Transparency and Participation, is scheduled. Both the 'popular' party and Vox have rejected en bloc the amendments registered by PSPV and Compromís.
Before the commission began, Vox's spokesperson, José Mª Llanos, expressed his satisfaction with the PP's support for his amendments, which incorporate the principle of national priority in access to social aid or housing, and stressed that it is part of the "pact" between both parties to move forward with the regional accounts for the current fiscal year.
On the other hand, the PSPV has announced that it will "fight" against this principle and will denounce it "to the last consequences," while Compromís has accused the PP of being "subservient to the designs of Vox." The 'popular' party, for its part, has dismissed the socialist warning as a "toast to the sun" and has challenged the PSPV to take their mayors to court for already applying national priority.
In Monday's session, PP and Vox already showed their harmony in the first votes, mutually approving all their initiatives and rejecting those of PSPV and Compromís. At that time, the 'popular' party accepted national priority in housing matters. Tuesday's parliamentary debate has once again highlighted the division into blocs (7-6).
Cooperation, maternity and family
In the social services chapter, Vox proposes, among other measures, increasing the allocation for international cooperation from 300,000 to 600,000 euros and incorporating a new item of 2.5 million for the return of former wards. At the same time, it proposes an "impulse" to maternity and family policies through two lines of aid totaling 3.5 million and another of 700,000 euros for dependency and people with disabilities.
PP and Vox have approved an amendment of approximation that sets among the objectives of the Family, Childhood and Adolescence program the promotion of "aid to Valencian families that can facilitate the upbringing and maintenance of children belonging to the family unit who follow the principle of national priority" and the implementation of aid for extracurricular activities and activities that allow for the upbringing and development of children belonging to the family unit" who also follow this criterion.
During the discussion, the PP has defended that the Consell's accounts are "worked and realistic," as well as "the most social in history," and that they place "the person at the center" so that they "live in freedom without anyone condemning them to dependency and poverty." On the other hand, it has criticized the left's "drift of ineffective activism," accusing it of "muddying the debate" and trying to "install the false message that social policies are being cut."
Vox, for its part, has maintained that to manage social services "correctly" it is essential to guarantee "real, lasting, effective, stable, and verifiable roots," something it considers "common sense." "For the first time, national priority will be a reality," they have celebrated, betting on rewarding residence, registration, permanence, and contribution to the country.
Compromís, which has spoken out against it, has dismissed Abascal's proposals as "cheap literature," asking them to "save their sermons" and pointing to them as "the most anti-family party" in Les Corts: "They have taken a concept they are insanely obsessed with -- national priority -- to mount a pitched battle, they are a public danger."
The debate intensifies: "government of reds" and "corrupt"
In addition, the PSPV has accused the PP of "abandoning and mistreating" the most vulnerable people and social services professionals, as well as "looking the other way". It has called for more resources to reduce waiting lists, streamline procedures, and recover the Pla Convivint, and has criticized the PP and Vox model, which in its opinion "weakens public management while favoring privatization". It has also asked the PP why it does not accept the 3,669 million euros from the new financing system: "Because they are from a government of reds?".
Compromís has described the budgets as "fascist and xenophobic", has denounced the PP's "abandonment" of social services, and has proposed, among other measures, strengthening personal autonomy and accessibility, as well as increasing aid to people affected by ALS. Likewise, it has criticized that the head of the Conselleria's cabinet until last week was "more concerned with organizing a festival" than with social services: "How corrupt can you get".
Health and education
In the healthcare sector, all amendments registered by PP and Vox have been approved, while the proposals from PSPV and Compromís have been rejected. The socialist deputies attended wearing t-shirts with the slogan "Health is a right, not a business".
The same pattern has been repeated in Education, where Gerard Fullana (Compromís) has denounced the vote against by PP and Vox on his amendment to demand the recovery of the Pla Edificant delegations "which were illegally annulled at the beginning of this legislature, as validated by the ruling of the TSJCV".
As he defended, the resolution "demonstrates that the elimination of 15 Edificant projects was illegal", for which reason he has called on the minister Carmen Ortí to appear in Les Corts to clarify "if she intends to rectify and return the money to the town councils so that they can process the works with a three-year delay or if she will continue on the path of illegality and blockade". "She cannot continue hiding," he insisted.
Regarding educational infrastructures, Compromís proposed amendments to allocate 180 million euros to construction, of which 77 would be reserved for Edificant until 2023 levels are recovered. Furthermore, it proposed an air conditioning and maintenance plan through a coordinated action platform between institutions, with an annual investment of 70 million, which would be supplemented up to 100 million with contributions from provincial councils and city councils.
The PSPV has denounced that Vox "imposes the agenda against public schools, Valencian, culture, and freedom," has warned of its intention to introduce "ideological control in classrooms," and has criticized the "veto" of companies like Pot de Plom in the 2026 Cultural Catalog and the PP's concessions to Vox: "Yes, boss." In contrast, it has defended its amendments to "fix the budgetary 'mess'" of the Consell in the face of the "mistreatment" and "propaganda and arrogance" of PP and Vox.
Finally, the PP has questioned the complaints about classroom air conditioning: "What's happening, have they overheated now or were they the same temperatures -- as with the Botànic--?". Vox, for its part, has called to "banish ideology" from educational centers, has accused the left of "indoctrinating students," and has rejected "wastefulness."
