Overview

  • Parliament approved a third credit supplement of €468 million to ensure the Generalitat’s funding through 2025, lifting total extraordinary allocations to nearly €4 billion.
  • PSC, ERC and Comuns voted in favor of the decree while Junts abstained and PP, Vox, CUP and Aliança Catalana voted against it.
  • ERC has tied its future backing of the 2026 budgets to the negotiation of a new financing model for Catalonia.

  • Opposition leaders have cautioned that failing to pass full 2026 budgets could lead to early regional elections in Catalonia.
