What are the main changes introduced by the new Basque tax agreement, and how will they impact different income groups in the region?

The Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) and the Socialist Party of the Basque Country (PSE-EE) have reached an agreement with Podemos on a revised tax plan, which will be approved in the three Basque Country regional parliaments. The agreement includes tax rebates of up to €2,800 for individuals earning less than €20,000, regardless of their tax contributions. This follows a previous failed agreement after Podemos consulted its grassroots members.", A2="The agreement represents a strategic victory for the Basque Socialist Party, who rejected a potential deal with the Basque PP, opting instead to negotiate with Podemos. This demonstrates a shift in the Basque political landscape, highlighting the increasing influence of Podemos in regional politics and the PNV's willingness to compromise to achieve its fiscal goals.", A3="This revised tax plan will have significant long-term implications for Basque Country's budget and the distribution of wealth. The increased tax rates for higher earners and large companies, coupled with the removal of certain deductions, could lead to increased government revenue. However, the significant rebates for lower earners could lead to increased public spending and a potential widening of the budget deficit.", Q1="What are the key provisions of the new Basque tax agreement, and what are its immediate impacts on Basque citizens and the regional budget?", Q2="How did the strategic decisions made by the Basque Socialist Party (PSE-EE) and the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) shape the outcome of the tax negotiations, and what were the consequences for other political actors?", Q3="What are the potential long-term economic and social consequences of this revised tax plan for the Basque Country, and how might it affect future political alliances and policy decisions?", ShortDescription="The Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) and the Socialist Party of the Basque Country (PSE-EE) finalized a revised tax plan with Podemos, including rebates up to €2,800 for those earning under €20,000, increased taxes on higher earners and large companies, and accelerated implementation of housing law indexes; approved across three Basque regional parliaments.", ShortTitle="Basque Tax Plan Approved: Rebates for Low Earners, Higher Taxes for High Earners and Large Companies"))

What is the primary political challenge facing Prime Minister Sánchez regarding the proposed increase in Spain's defense budget?

Podemos", a Spanish left-wing party, submitted a non-binding motion to the Congress urging Spain to withdraw from NATO and reject increasing military spending to 2% of GDP by 2029.
