Moreno Rallies Andalusian Parliament to Oppose Ordinalidad in Spain's Financing Overhaul

Ordinalidad ties funding to fiscal capacity, with analyses pointing to gains for Catalonia and for Madrid as Andalucía warns of losses.

Overview

  • At the regional debate on Thursday, President Juanma Moreno urged all parties in the Andalusian Parliament to reject the Finance Ministry’s potential use of ordinalidad in the new system.
  • Finance Minister María Jesús Montero plans to present a financing proposal in the first quarter of 2026, has not confirmed whether ordinalidad will be included, and has called for flexible positions to reach a single model.
  • The Andalusian government cites a 2018 parliamentary pact that rejected ordinalidad as a guiding principle, framing it as contrary to constitutional solidarity.
  • A Gestha analysis reported that applying ordinalidad would chiefly benefit Catalonia and Madrid while slightly disadvantaging territories such as Andalucía.
  • Official 2022 liquidation data used by Andalusian officials show €3,103 collected per resident and €2,320 received, a €783 per-capita gap equating to more than €6 billion.
