Junts, caught between two fires: accepting the regulation of the housing market or slamming the door on Sánchez four days before the amnesty

The political housing agreement remains stalled, with Junts per Catalunya expressing dissatisfaction with the content of the two decrees approved by the Cabinet on Tuesday. While their vote against is not yet final, the negotiation has become mired. Junts argues that the current draft does not prevent the purchase of properties by "vulture funds" and violates a key principle for the party: protection for small property owners.

Consequently, sufficient support to ratify the decrees in Congress remains elusive, potentially aiding in easing the surge of public anger that led to Maricarmen Abascal's case. Junts acknowledges feeling "disappointment" and maintains distances from the government as they face a vote only four days before the amnesties law is set to be confirmed, potentially paving the way for Carles Puigdemont's return.
