The Government's fiscal stability path once again faces the PP veto in the Senate. If the process, necessary to draw up the Budgets, did not go ahead, the Executive would approve more rigid objectives and the deadlines would be lengthened.

The Government has already announced that it has an ace up its sleeve if it suffers another — foreseeable — second setback. The stability path sent last spring to Brussels, more severe for communities and city councils, would come into force. In past years, just over 80 days have passed on average between the registration of the project in Congress and its approval.
