Royal Decree-Law 13/2026: update of advance payments to autonomous communities and local entities

The Council of Ministers approved on 2 June 2026 Royal Decree-Law 13/2026, published in the BOE on 3 June, which updates advance payments to autonomous communities and local entities from state taxes for 2026, based on tax revenue forecasts approved by the Council of Ministers in November 2025. The measure also approves the credit supplements needed to finance these updated payments, allows local entities to use their 2025 budget surplus for financially sustainable investments, and exempts financially sound local entities from the obligation to approve economic-financial plans in 2026 and 2027. It also regulates the non-enforceability of compensation for national mobile telephony service quotas received in excess by municipalities and provincial councils.

European Union approves new returns regulation toughening deportations

The European Parliament, European Commission and EU Council reached a provisional political agreement on the reform of the Returns Regulation, which extends the maximum administrative detention period to 24 months (extendable to 30), allows the creation of return centres outside EU territory, introduces permanent entry bans for persons deemed a security threat and authorises searches of homes to locate persons subject to deportation orders. The Greens and various migrant rights organisations warned that the regulation could lead to violations of fundamental rights and that Europe is moving towards a migration control model inspired by US practices. The European Commission noted that only one in five persons with an expulsion order is effectively returned to their country of origin.

Teachers' strike: vote on pre-agreement in Catalonia and encampment in Valencia

Catalan teachers voted on the 29 May pre-agreement signed between the Education Department and the unions USTEC, CCOO, UGT and Professors de Secundària, which includes salary improvements of around €600 per month over four years and 6,413 new posts; the result was due on 5 June at noon. Unions including CGT, Intersindical and COS maintained mobilisations, considering the agreement insufficient, and demonstrations took place in Tarragona, the Terres de l'Ebre and other areas. Meanwhile, in the Valencian Community, teachers on indefinite strike since 11 May set up an encampment in Valencia's Plaça de la Mare de Déu, demanding that Education Minister Carmen Ortí sit down for genuine negotiations, amid tension with the Corpus Christi celebrations.

Carlos Mazón joins as a party to the DANA judicial case

The Second Section of the Valencia Provincial Court upheld Carlos Mazón's appeal and accepted his participation as a party in the judicial case investigating the management of the DANA, which caused more than 200 deaths. The ruling, supported by the prosecution, overturned the criterion of the Catarroja investigating judge, who had rejected the request, and noted that if the participation were not accepted, Mazón would be deprived of knowledge of the judicial activity affecting him. The formal investigation is directed at former minister Salomé Pradas and Emergency Secretary Emilio Argüeso, while the Superior Court of Justice had previously rejected the judge's request to formally charge Mazón.

Andic case: judge investigates family psychologist and Jonathan Andic's communications

Investigating judge Raquel Nieto of Martorell's Court of Instruction No. 5 issued a ruling stating there were indications of 'active, premeditated and prepared participation' by Jonathan Andic in the death of his father Isak Andic, founder of Mango, who fell more than 100 metres on a Montserrat hiking route on 14 December 2024. The judge ordered an investigation into the possible involvement of family psychologist J.L., who allegedly encouraged Isak Andic to grant a living inheritance to his son, and requested from Vodafone the communications of Jonathan Andic's phone between 21 and 26 March 2025, coinciding with a quick trip to Ecuador during which his mobile phone disappeared under strange circumstances. The Mossos d'Esquadra reconstructed the timeline of the fall and detected contradictions in Jonathan Andic's statements; he is in provisional detention under a one-million-euro bail.
