22.07.2025 ⇢ The Energy Decree Fell in Congress
⌨The legislative session saw the government suffer a significant setback with the defeat of its "anti-blackout" energy decree in Congress. In the afternoon, the Popular Party, joined by Junts, Vox, Podemos, and BNG, voted against the measure, overturning a key government initiative. This marked a clear legislative defeat for the Sánchez administration. Concurrently, the government officially approved a new law to declassify secrets from the Franco regime and the Transition period, a topic that received consistent attention throughout the day. However, reports also noted that the law would allow some secrets to remain classified for national security reasons. Separately, the prominent Juana Rivas case saw a new development as a Granada judge postponed the handover of her youngest son to his father until Friday, following seven months of retention. Corruption investigations, particularly the ongoing Montoro case, continued to be reported, with new allegations surfacing regarding illegal PSOE financing.
