PPdeG Rejects Bilateral Talks on Regional Financing, Calls for CPFF Negotiation

Spokesman Alberto Pazos says the government's plan would shrink Galicia's per‑capita funding.

Overview

  • Alberto Pazos ruled out bilateral discussions between the Xunta and Madrid and insisted the reform be negotiated in the multilateral Consejo de Política Fiscal y Financiera.
  • He argued the central proposal chiefly benefits Catalonia and would cut Galicia's per‑capita resources by more than seven points, leaving the region with 2.8% of the new funds despite having about 6% of the common‑regime population.
  • Pazos criticized the BNG for pressing for one‑on‑one talks and for advocating a Basque‑style quota for Galicia, which he said experts have rejected.
  • He reproached the PSdeG, alleging deference to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and contrasting it with firmer opposition voiced by socialist‑led Castilla‑La Mancha and Asturias.
  • He confirmed the Parliament will vote on January 27–28 to appoint Julio García Comesaña as secretary of the Mesa, replacing Ethel Vázquez.
