The Comunidad de Madrid obtains legal power to exercise popular action, meaning to report crimes before the courts on behalf of citizens. It can act as a prosecutor without you asking for it.

The Madrid administration will be able to appear as a prosecutor in criminal proceedings affecting regional competencies. The specific cases or limits are not specified, which opens the door to discretionary use of this new tool.

A decree-law modifies the amount you have to pay out of pocket when buying prescription medicines. It is a direct change in pharmaceutical co-payment that affects millions of people.

Your contribution at the pharmacy may go up or down depending on your situation, but the decree does not specify concrete figures. It affects pensioners, workers, and people with chronic treatments every time they go to the pharmacy.

The Generalitat uses an urgent decree-law to modify several laws concerning taxes, building permits, housing, and public procurement all at once. This avoids normal parliamentary debate.

Local taxes, the time and requirements for obtaining building permits, and housing regulations may change. As a decree-law, it comes into force immediately without going through the usual legislative procedure.
