• Spain is starting the political year without general elections in sight and with a clear economic horizon.
• The socialist Salvador Illa took over the presidency of the Generalitat, ending almost 15 years of sovereign governments in Catalonia.
• The Government will face parliamentary fragmentation and the instability of some of its supports, especially Junts and ERC.
• A possible extension of the Budgets is expected given the difficulty of forging majorities.
• The Government needs to manage the so-called singular financing for Catalonia, a debate that should be extended to all autonomous communities.
• Urgent solutions are needed for the migratory pressure, particularly in the Canary Islands and Ceuta.

Conclusion: The Spanish government faces challenges on several fronts as it seeks to maintain political balance, manage the national budget, and respond to migration pressure.
