Overview
- The government presented a €9.145 billion plan with a €7.979 billion spending ceiling, the largest in the region’s history.
- The proposal pairs tax cuts—99% inheritance tax relief for Group II and a 50% transfer tax cut for youths, people with disabilities and victims of gender violence, plus IRPF tweaks—with higher funding for health (€3,002m), education (€1,433m with teacher pay rises) and social welfare (€547m), and €13.9m for river clean-up.
- Azcón said he will open a consultation round with all parties next week and aims to secure the necessary backing before year-end.
- Vox’s regional leader, Alejandro Nolasco, signaled he will join the talks after seeing the PP–Vox deal in Valencia, though he criticized the plan for not addressing illegal immigration.
- With the PP holding 28 of 67 seats, Vox’s seven deputies are pivotal, and Azcón has warned that failure to reach an agreement could trigger an early election via the so-called vía Guardiola.
