This episode examines Aragón’s decision to call early elections after failed budget talks between the Popular Party (PP) and its far-right partner, Vox. With no agreement for the 2026 budget, the regional government must dissolve the Cortes and move toward elections, tentatively set for February 8. We also look at parallels with a recent crisis in Extremadura and how political deadlock has pushed multiple regions toward unexpected elections.
