Overview
- The Xunta announced on Monday that it will ask the central government to convene a Comisión Bilateral to discuss and try to resolve differences over the Ley Orgánica 3/2026 before any Comisión Mixta de Transferencias meets.
- The organic law enabling the AP-9 transfer was published in the BOE at the end of July and was approved in the Congress with votes from PSOE, Sumar and BNG.
- A Xunta legal report argues the final text departs from the version unanimously backed by the Galician Parliament by diluting economic guarantees and by delegating essential transfer details to a later Mixta agreement, a change it says raises constitutional and drafting gaps.
- The Xunta warns Galicia could face roughly €4 billion of potential exposure without explicit financial 'blindaje,' a concern sharpened after seven PP amendments in the Senate that sought to restore guarantees were rejected in the Congreso.
- The move has provoked regional political clashes with the PSdeG calling the bilateral request a delaying tactic and the central government urging the Xunta to negotiate under the law in the Comisión Mixta while both sides await whether Madrid will accept the bilateral convening.
