Spain has today reached the symbolic milestone of 1,000 days without a new national budget, the main tool for steering the country’s economic policy and setting priorities for public spending.
The left-wing coalition government led by Pedro Sánchez, made up of PSOE and Sumar, has gone the entire legislative term without passing a single budget. Instead, it has been governing with the budget approved in 2022 for the 2023 financial year.
