  "account": "The People's Party and Vox have reached an agreement to recreate their majority in the Senate and counter the left, which will run united in 43 provinces under the Senate of Progress label. The goal is to achieve three-fifths of the Senate, a reinforced majority needed for appointments such as Constitutional Court magistrates. The agreement was announced by Miguel Tellado, secretary general of the People's Party, who called it a \"good news\" for protecting the center-right majority. Meanwhile, government spokesperson Elma Saiz condemned the violence and looting in Barcelona on Saturday, suggesting it benefits the far right.",
  "summary": "Tellado states that the agreement aims to \"protect\" the Upper House from \"radical left-wing movements\". The Government condemns \"without reservation\" the violent disturbances in Barcelona and suggests that they benefit the far right. Albares ensures that the consuls are working at \"full speed to comply with the Supreme Court's rulings within the deadline\".",
