PP Uses A Coruña Interparlamentaria to Reject Funding Plan and Pledge One-Year Overhaul

At a party conclave in A Coruña, PP leaders rejected the government's new regional funding blueprint as partisan, promising a full reform in their first year in office.

Overview

  • The PP convened its XXVIII Interparlamentaria at the Palexco in A Coruña to coordinate strategy, reinforce Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s leadership, and set the party’s political agenda.
  • Secretary general Miguel Tellado vowed that, if the PP forms a government, it will present within its first year a complete reform to replace the current autonomous financing system for all regions.
  • The party condemned Finance Minister María Jesús Montero’s proposal, detailed on Friday, to raise the regional take of IRPF and VAT above 50%, arguing it is designed to benefit pro‑independence actors.
  • PP officials said regional finance chiefs had not received formal documents ahead of next week’s Council of Fiscal and Financial Policy meeting, which they will attend despite their criticism.
  • Speakers attacked what they called the government’s predatory taxation and overregulation, highlighted weak tech adoption and competitiveness, and showcased regional PP policies such as Galicia’s FP-to-employment outcomes and tax cuts in La Rioja.
