A vote during a plenary session in the Congress of Deputies, on May 23, 2024, in Madrid (Spain). The Government has requested the withdrawal of the reform of the Land Law from the agenda of the Plenary Session of Congress due to the lack of parliamentary support and so that the regulation "is not affected by the electoral situation". The decision takes place two days after the Lower House overturned the PSOE's law to ban pimping, which had the vote against PP but also government partners such as Sumar, ERC, Junts, EH Bildu and PNV. On this occasion, the minority party of the Government, Sumar, had already announced its intention to reject the Land Law, while the PP said it would not help the PSOE. For this reason, and in order to avoid a second defeat in Parliament in less than 48 hours, the Government has decided to withdraw the law, which was being processed today. 23 MAY 2024 Gabriel Luengas / Europa Press 05/23/2024 (Europa Press via AP)
