Spain’s PP and Vox Approve First Budgets
The People’s Party (PP) in Spain and Vox agreed to add a ‘national priority’ to the Valencian regional budget. The Valencian Parliament approved the budget led by Juanfran Pérez Llorca. The Spanish government is considering challenging this agreement.
The agreement includes provisions for social and housing aid, a point of contention raised by Vox. The ‘national priority’ focuses on ‘real rooting’ initiatives. This proposal was inspired by a similar concept from the French far-right, Le Pen. The Spanish government is worried about accepting changes from Vox. The government may challenge the law in court.
