Overview
- The CPFF meeting left the proposal isolated politically, with every autonomous community except Catalonia opposing it, including PSOE-led Castilla-La Mancha and Asturias.
- Hacienda plans immediate bilateral technical sessions with each region and aims to register a financing bill before the end of June so the reform can apply from 2027.
- The package would mobilize roughly €21 billion in state funds, with Catalonia projected to receive about €4.7 billion more than under the current system.
- Government sources say the bilateral outreach is designed to erode the PP’s unified front and they express confidence Junts may ultimately back the reform, while ruling out a Catalan-style ‘cupo’ and signaling only limited tweaks.
- Regional leaders, including Juanma Moreno and Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, denounce the plan as unfair and tied to ERC; PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo plans to ask Pedro Sánchez on Monday to withdraw it, and several governments vow court challenges once a formal act exists.
