Overview
- Salvador Illa says the new, singular financing model is practically agreed and slated for public presentation around January.
- Oriol Junqueras warns ERC will not negotiate either Catalan or state budgets without concrete progress enabling the Generalitat to collect the IRPF.
- ERC filed an IRPF bill in September to empower the Catalan Tax Agency to collect personal income tax, with processing deferred to 2026 and now pressed for reactivation.
- Finance Minister María Jesús Montero has indicated the proposal is expected to go to the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council between January and February 2026.
- Comuns spokeswoman Aina Vidal asserts her party is indispensable for any financing pact, as Illa links the financing push to 2026 governance goals including housing measures and the Rodalies transfer.
