Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has defended the government's decision to postpone presenting this year's national budgets, arguing that an urgent need for funds regarding a potential war with Iran requires immediate allocation. This marks his fifth time invoking external crises or emergency measures as justification since initially announcing he would present the budget by March 15th; previously cited reasons included preparing against economic pressure and handling other sudden demands like housing issues in Galicia's north-west region.
