Overview
- The PP gathered in Zaragoza, where Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Jorge Azcón led a meeting that produced a joint declaration against the financing proposal negotiated with ERC.
- The text was signed by 11 PP regional presidents along with other party leaders, projecting unity as Aragón heads toward its 8 February election.
- Feijóo said that, if he governs, he will convene the CPFF in his first month, revive technical working groups, prioritize healthcare and factors like depopulation, and devote the first year to a deal with all regions before taking it to Parliament.
- Finance minister María Jesús Montero defends the government’s plan as unlocking €21 billion for health, education and dependency services and criticizes the PP for rejecting it without presenting detailed figures.
- A Fedea analysis cited in the debate estimates Catalonia’s net contribution would fall from about €2.3 billion to roughly €800 million, a point PP leaders use to claim favoritism, while figures such as Extremadura’s María Guardiola argue their territories would not gain under the draft.
