Overview
- Finance minister María Jesús Montero criticized PP regional leaders for talking without submitting concrete proposals and said the party simply rejects the government's plan.
- The proposal, presented by the central government, allocates €21 billion for health, education and dependency services to be managed by the autonomous communities.
- Montero said Andalusia would receive about €5.7 billion per year including a compensation fund, asserting the per‑inhabitant financing gap would narrow from €1,500 to €477.
- Andalusian economy chief Carolina España condemned the plan as favoring Catalonia, claimed Andalusians would receive €389 less per person, and accused Montero of acting like an agent of independentism.
- PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has convened a Zaragoza meeting with PP regional presidents on financing, and Montero linked engineering firm Ayesa’s move to the Basque Country to the Andalusian government’s inaction.
