This would be the cost of the bill that the Congress and the Senate would pass at the end of the legislature , in the event that it is unsuccessful - which will happen if Pedro Sánchez does not manage to be sworn in as president of the Government before next   September 23. The economic journalist Inés Calderón has crunched the numbers in an article published in Newtral in which she details how each day of political paralysis is costing the Cortes up to 144,000 euros in salaries and subsidies. This is because the Cortes dedicate nearly 100,000 euros per day to the salaries of deputies and senators, and another 44,700 euros in aid to political parties.

All of this despite the fact that Congress was established at the end of May and from then until the end of July there has been hardly any parliamentary activity. We had to wait until then for the Chambers to constitute their parliamentary  committees and legislative activity to get underway. The regulations Middle East Phone Number List of Congress grant that in July and August there is a special period of sessions. In this period, it is the power of an absolute majority in the Chamber to call extraordinary sessions, or in which case the competence falls on the - acting - Presidency of the Government. This is what sources from the Socialist Parliamentary Group told Business Insider days ago.



The acting Government has not undergone a control session in Congress since February: this is what the Chamber's regulations say Thus, the Cortes are on their way to 100 days with hardly any activity despite the waste of public spending that this entails for the treasury. 85 days of inactivity between the constitution of Congress and the investiture debate Since the Chambers were formed at the end of May until the failed investiture session took place at the end of July, 85 days have accumulated with hardly any parliamentary activity. Newtral estimates that the public cost of this inactivity amounts to million euros, adding salaries, subsidies and the cost of cell phones and iPads, as explained by journalist Marcos Sierra in Vozpópuli.
