Spain's Congress of Deputies has rejected a royal decree-law intended to regulate lobbying, less than a month after its August approval. The **PP**, **Vox**, and Junts voted against the measure, while the PNV abstained, marking the nation's third failed attempt. The decree-law sought to establish a mandatory registry under the Transparency Council, including trade unions and employers' associations. During its brief existence, the registry received over 3,000 inquiries and more than 300 membership applications. The rejection triggers a loss of 260 million euros in EU Recovery Plan transfers. Total frozen funds now reach 1.3 billion euros following failures to reform diesel taxes, interim employment, and local digitisation as requested by the **European Commission**. ## Related news #AlbertoNúñezFeijóo #HousingSpain [#PP]() [#RealEstate]() [#SpanishPolitics]() 21 October 2026 at 12:47 ## [Feijóo pledges one million homes in first 100 days]() > PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo outlines a housing plan featuring mortgage guarantees, tax relief, and new laws to boost property supply.
