PP accuses Sánchez government of using Permanent Deputation as election platform
The Popular Party claims the government is delaying housing decree-laws to exploit the Congress' Permanent Deputation for electoral gain.
Members of the Popular Party have charged the Sánchez government with postponing the presentation of housing decree-laws before the Permanent Deputation of the Congress, suggesting the move is intended to turn the body into an electoral platform. They argue that the executive has already used the official residence for a PSOE rally, indicating a pattern of leveraging state institutions for campaign purposes. The PP points out that the Congress president announced a Permanent Deputation meeting that will consider other decree-laws, such as those on flood response and Iran, but not the housing measures.
According to the party, this timing aligns with the upcoming electoral campaign. The criticism highlights concerns over the separation of legislative duties and political campaigning within parliamentary procedures.
