Overview
- Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced 80 measures designed to cushion Spain from war-driven spikes in oil, gas and electricity prices.
- Two decrees are set for publication to bring much of the plan into immediate effect, though later parliamentary endorsement will still be required.
- The package cuts VAT on petrol, diesel, natural gas and electricity from 21% to 10% to lower household and business energy bills.
- Targeted support includes a €0.20-per-liter fuel subsidy for transport operators, farmers and fishermen, plus aid for fertilizer purchases and a pledged 60% reduction in electricity costs.
- A nationwide temporary rent freeze and added tenant protections, championed by coalition partner Sumar, will go to Parliament and could face resistance from conservative and right‑wing parties.
