The workers’ union union urges all political forces to think about and in mind that all these measures have to be approved: “We encourage them to sit.

What is the Omnibus Decree
This type of decrees They are used to group several measures or reforms from various social fields in the same “package”. This is that all measures are voted at the same time. It is a constitutional technique, although, according to experts such as María Garrote, professor of constitutional law at the Complutense University of Madrid, they do not have good legal technique: “They have a very heterogeneous content.”
When the Omnibus decree is used
Bus decrees They are used to get several measures to enter into force at the same time, for reasons of opportunity and speed. But it is not usual and, according to María Garrote, it is curious that the government develops it through a decree, since a royal decree should only be adopted in case of extraordinary need, as collected by the Spanish Constitution in its article 86.
Once they are already developed by the Government, it goes ahead (or not as in this case) depending on the supports that are obtained in that parliamentary session, always having to have the majority of the lower house.
