The **Congress of Deputies** approved a motion by the PP on Wednesday, 23 September 2026, to censure the Minister of Education, **Milagros Tolón**. The motion urges President Pedro Sánchez to dismiss Tolón following poor educational results in the OECD **PISA Report**. Parliament also backed a requirement for the Government to adopt measures for the return of individuals who entered Ceuta illegally in July. This specific initiative, alongside student welfare measures in the city, received support from both Vox and Junts. Despite the censure, MPs rejected PP and Vox proposals to reverse the PISA decline. The PP further requested the restitution of 310 million euros transferred from Education to the Ministry of Presidency in July, amid debates over Lomloe and Lomce curricula. ## Related news ![Spain's population hits record 49.9 million]() [#Spain]() #Demographics #PopulationGrowth [#INE]() [#Migration]() 12 November 2026 at 12:57 ## [Spain's population hits record 49.9 million]() > New INE data reveals Spain's population reached a historic peak on 1 October 2026, driven almost entirely by foreign-born residents. #Sabadell [#BankOfSpain]() #MortgageFraud #BankingRegulation [#Spain]() 11 November 2026 at 17:15 ## [Bank of Spain fines Sabadell €16.5m over mortgages]() > Banco Sabadell faces a €16.5 million penalty for illegally conditioning mortgage approvals on the purchase of linked insurance policies. #Aldi #ChristmasShopping [#Spain]() #Budgeting #RetailTrends 11 November 2026 at 16:55 ## [Aldi report: 71% of Spanish homes shop early]() > A study reveals most households buy Christmas food early to manage budgets, with many opting for store brands and items under five euros.
