Spain’s Congress rejects health agency bill containing gambling amendment
Spain’s Congress rejected a bill establishing the State Public Health Agency and amending the General Public Health Law, reportedly on 20 March 2025. The vote was 167 in favour, 176 against and two abstentions. The PSOE and Sumar amendment sought to reinstate gambling-promotion provisions previously annulled by the Supreme Court.
The proposed route to restore the annulled gambling-promotion provisions failed with the bill’s rejection.
