Sánchez criticizes the PP and Vox for overturning the regulation of lobbyists: "They don't want us to know who their masters are"

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has publicly criticized the Partido Popular (PP) and Vox for voting against a real decree law intended to regulate lobbying activities. Sánchez argued that the opposition's rejection of the measure prevents transparency regarding the influence of interest groups on political decision-making.

During his remarks, Sánchez accused the two parties of seeking to conceal the identities of their financial or political backers. The proposed legislation aimed to establish a framework for monitoring groups of interest, a move the government contends would have improved democratic transparency.
