The Popular Party leverages Junts' threat to break with the PSOE to ramp up pressure on Pedro Sánchez's Government, during a week of key decisions in Catalan independence and judicial appearances. Deputy Secretary Elías Bendodo has urged Carles Puigdemont's party to 'stand firm' against what he calls a corrupt Government. Sánchez, meanwhile, ignores the challenge and focuses his attacks on the PP's management in Valencia after the DANA floods.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo, PP leader, urged Junts and other government allies on Saturday to allow early general elections via an instrumental motion of censure. The Catalan independence party led by Carles Puigdemont rejected the proposal and demanded apologies from the PP for its treatment of Catalan businesspeople. This comes amid corruption scandals surrounding Pedro Sánchez's executive.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has described from Brazil the inability to pass budgets for the entire legislature as a mere procedure, claiming Spain is experiencing one of its best moments. Despite the blockade by Junts and the loss of key partners, Sánchez insists on continuing his roadmap without calling elections. Meanwhile, he calls for elections in the Valencian Community due to the crisis following Carlos Mazón's resignation.
