Junts demands elections and Congress braces for another heart-stopping Thursday

Published on June 17, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Junts has registered an amendment for Congress to vote this Thursday on whether Pedro Sánchez should dissolve the Cortes and call elections. The proposal joins a PP motion on corruption and the Government's weakness. For citizens, this represents a new political showdown that could accelerate the end of the legislature, highlighting the parliamentary instability affecting governance.

Blockchain technology fails to stabilize remote voting in Congress 🤖

While parties negotiate election deadlines, Congress's remote voting system continues to have technical issues. The blockchain-based platform was implemented to guarantee transparency, but connection failures and lack of software updates cause delays in voting. Parliamentary groups demand an urgent patch before Thursday's session to avoid errors in such a critical decision.

Sánchez, between the deadlock and the pending coffee with Puigdemont ☕

While Pedro Sánchez drinks a solo coffee at La Moncloa, Carles Puigdemont calls for elections from Waterloo. MPs, for their part, check their calendars to see if another election campaign fits before summer. The only certainty is that Congress works better as a meme generator than as a decision-making center. At least blockchain technology guarantees that the chaos is recorded for posterity.
