  "account": "The idea of August as a deserted month of parliamentary activity seems like a thing of the past. Spain's —and the world's— frenetic political life, as well as the succession of emergencies that the Government of Pedro Sánchez has been chaining since the pandemic, have transformed the sparse summer program of the Cortes into a more substantial one. This summer, the agenda does not stop due to the outbreak of the unprecedented crisis in Ceuta, for which the PP holds La Moncloa responsible, and is heading the Senate and the Executive towards an institutional clash between them. On one side, the PP, with an absolute majority in the upper house, where it has registered requests for the appearance of the Ministers of the Interior, Defense and Foreign Affairs. In the other corner, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, Margarita Robles and José Manuel Albares, who will not respond to the summons to avoid “duplicity” alleging that they will already give explanations on their own initiative at the end of the month in Congress.",
  "summary": "The PP reformed the regulations of the Upper House to make attendance \"mandatory\" and has already gone to the Constitutional Court when Sánchez did not respond to a summons for Adamuz.",
