Spain's government and Catalan party Junts have agreed on a bill involving pension hikes and transport subsidies, overcoming a previous rejection in parliament.
MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's government has reached a deal with the Catalan separatist party Junts to get parts of a wide-ranging bill involving pension hikes and transport subsidies passed in parliament, state news agency EFE reported on Tuesday.
The government declined to comment on the EFE report, which cited unidentified government sources.
The original bill, which included an extension of a temporary windfall tax on energy companies, a pension raise and a six-month extension of temporary subsidies for public transportation, was rejected by the lower house last week.
