LIVE | Pedro Sánchez at the PSOE interparliamentary meeting

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General7 September 2026 at 11:06

The president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, meets this Monday at the Congress of Deputies the deputies, senators and MEPs of the PSOE to begin the new political year. The event is an interparliamentary meeting of the party that symbolically marks the start of the political season in Spain.

The meeting takes place in a context marked by the crisis in Ceuta, where a massive influx of migrants occurred last month, which places pressure on the Spanish executive. This emergency situation at the southern Spanish border serves as a backdrop for the internal discussions of the ruling party.

One of the main topics of the meeting will be the evolution of the Government's announced intention to present the General State Budgets for 2027. This is a fundamental document for the country's economic policy and requires parliamentary support to be approved.

Sánchez will use this meeting with his parliamentarians to outline the party's strategic lines for the coming months and align positions before the formal start of the new legislative session.

The lehendakari Imanol Pradales warned that Ceuta is acting as an "accelerator" of citizens' migratory concerns and that it could lead to the "end of de facto legislation" if the president of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez, fails to "channel" the crisis. Pradales considered that the problem lies both in the "inability to adequately manage" the situation by the central Executive, and in the fact that Ceuta functions as an amplifier of public concern regarding migration.
