Overview
- The Finance Ministry is set to unveil the model’s technical details today before taking it to the Council of Fiscal and Financial Policy next week.
- Turning the pact into law entails modifying LOFCA and related statutes, clearing Congress with 176 votes, and facing a PP‑controlled Senate that the lower house could still override with the same absolute majority.
- The agreement excludes full IRPF collection by Catalonia for now, and ERC warns it will not negotiate state or regional budgets until that issue is addressed.
- Junts rejects the plan for falling short of a Basque‑style concierto, while the PP and several regional governments, notably Andalusia’s, denounce the bilateral approach.
- The government says the design is generalizable and that no region will receive less; some reports cite an overall system injection of roughly €18 billion, a figure not formally confirmed.
