Brussels. This Thursday, the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has ruled out presenting the draft budget law for 2026 this month and has decided to focus on the consequences of the war in Iran. Sánchez commented on the presentation of the budget in statements to the press upon arriving at the European Council meeting, where the situation created by the war in Iran will be discussed. This Thursday, further emphasis was placed on this issue, with statements dismissing the possibility of meeting expectations. It was stressed that no one anticipated the conflict in Iran and that the Government must focus on the urgent matter, which is addressing the consequences of the war.
Sánchez postpones the presentation of the budget to focus on responding to the war.
