Overview

• The regional total aggregates claimed gaps since 2019 in dependency care, EU recovery funds, water infrastructure, transport subsidies, justice reforms and prisoner healthcare.
• Central officials say the 50% state share for dependency is a political goal rather than a legal duty, noting the law does not mandate parity and that state funding has risen.
• On EU funds, ministries argue allocations also reflected project quality and territorial development, countering Madrid’s per‑capita shortfall claim of about €950 million.
• The ecological ministry says Tajo plan works run through 2027 and adds that wastewater plant projects stalled after the Madrid city government declined to finalize an execution agreement.
• Transport officials say €109.1 million for first‑half fare aid was paid in August, the second tranche is due in December, and the €126.8 million ordinary subsidy is scheduled for year‑end, disputing an alleged €268 million debt.
