What are the long-term implications of this agreement for Mazón's political career and the future relationship between the PP and Vox in Spain?

Mazón's political survival hinges on ongoing judicial investigations and the avoidance of further damaging information related to his handling of recent floods. The PP leadership, while satisfied with the budget deal, is keeping Mazón under close observation; any further missteps could lead to his removal.

The Spanish government proposes that judges who prepare judicial candidates for competitive examinations do so without charge, responding to concerns raised by the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) regarding transparency measures in a draft law. The CGPJ report suggests that judges' preparation is often driven by moral obligation rather than financial gain, a point the government aims to reinforce by making the activity entirely free.
