On Wednesday, Spain's Congress voted against the Spanish Government's 'omnibus' decree, so called because it covers multiple measures in a single regulatory package. The intention of this decree was to enable the simultaneous implementation of several amendments, thus speeding up the whole legislative process by avoiding individual parliamentary processing. There was an omnibus decree a year ago. On that occasion it went through thanks to support from Junts per Catalunya. The latest decree didn't receive the backing of Junts. With the Partido Popular and Vox having been against, the government was defeated by six votes.
