  • The alliance aims to preserve Spain’s unified budget and the principle of solidarity by promoting a reasonable financing model for all regions.
  • Moreno publicly criticized regional PSOE leaders for echoing the central party line and denounced María Jesús Montero’s proposal to extend singular financing to other communities.
  • He ruled out a snap election in Andalusia and affirmed his government will serve its full term with polls scheduled for June 2026.
