What are the immediate consequences of the Ministry of Economy's decision to delay the work-life balance decree, and what is its significance for Spain's compliance with EU regulations?

How did the change in government in Navarra in 2019 affect the decision-making process regarding the cost overrun claim by Servinabar 2000 SL?

The €500,000 payment to Servinabar 2000 SL is connected to a change in government in Navarra, Spain in 2019. After the new government, led by María Chivite, took office, a previously denied request for additional funding and time to complete the rehabilitation of the General Archive of Navarre building was approved. This approval reversed the decision of government technicians under the previous administration. The Guardia Civil investigation suggests Servinabar acted as a key player in obtaining public contracts, implying a possible link between the payment and political influence.
