# Council of Ministers to approve new housing decrees 5 October 2026 at 12:38 > The Spanish government seeks validation for two housing decrees from the Permanent Deputation following their initial rejection in Congress. The [Council of Ministers]() is set to approve two housing decrees this Tuesday, following their rejection by the [Congress of Deputies]() last Friday. As the Cortes Generales have been dissolved, these new royal decree-laws must now face a crucial validation vote. The **Permanent Deputation**, comprising 68 deputies and the President of the Congress, will decide the fate of the legislation. The body includes 27 PP members, 25 from the PSOE, and six each for Vox and Sumar, alongside single seats for ERC, Bildu and others. Securing approval depends on the [PNV]()'s support, which is considered necessary for the decrees to pass. With [Junts]() having voted against the texts previously and Podemos leading the Mixed Group, the government requires a broad consensus to enact the measures.
