Sánchez apologizes to Macron for the PP's rejection of the Friendship Treaty, which he accuses of "ideologizing" it.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez apologized to French President Emmanuel Macron following the rejection of the Spanish-French Friendship and Cooperation Treaty in the Spanish Senate on Tuesday, a vote led by the opposition People's Party (PP). Sánchez accused the PP of "ideologizing" the agreement, while promising that the treaty will still be approved by the Cortes during the current legislative term.

In response to the setback, the French president expressed regret over the outcome and maintained that the treaty text cannot be altered, noting that it has already received validation from the Constitutional Court.
