Spain’s lower house of parliament has rejected a bill that would have shortened the working week, delivering a setback to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s Socialist-led minority government as it struggles to push through promised reforms.
In a late vote on Sept. 10, opposition parties joined with Catalonia’s pro-independence Junts to block the bill from advancing to debate.
