Congress rejects the Government's decree to regulate lobbyists with votes against from PP, Vox, Junts and UPN

The Spanish Congress voted on Wednesday to repeal a government decree intended to regulate lobbying activities. The legislative measure, which had been approved by the executive branch in late August, failed to secure the necessary support for validation in the plenary session. The opposition was led by a coalition of votes from the PP, Vox, Junts, and UPN.

The rejection of the decree follows criticism from various political factions, including some of the government's own minority partners. By failing the validation process, the regulation of interest groups remains unaddressed by this specific legal framework, marking a legislative setback for the current administration.
