Junts aligns with the PP to force a congressional vote on Thursday demanding that Prime Minister Sánchez call snap elections.
Junts and the PP joined forces to force a Thursday vote in Spain's Congress demanding that Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez dissolve parliament and call snap elections. The Catalan separatist party's sudden alignment with the conservative opposition directly threatens Sánchez's fragile governing majority, and the story dominated Spanish front pages.
The Thursday vote will reveal how much support the Junts–PP motion has in Congress; even if it fails, Sánchez's coalition management will face renewed strain. The Catalan party's next move and the reactions of other coalition partners will decide whether the snap-election demand becomes a recurring pressure point.
