Overview

- Moncloa aims to register the reform in Congress before the end of June, with approval targeted so the new system operates in 2027.
- Valencian spokesperson Miguel Barrachina declined to confirm attendance at the bilateral talks and insisted negotiations wait for a formal legal text, listing demands on equalization, debt, dependency and health costs.
- Castilla y León’s president Alfonso Fernández Mañueco called the proposal a grave injustice and said the region would receive only 1.29% of new funds, while the Junta plans legal action once a concrete normative act exists.
- ERC leader Oriol Junqueras defended the pact’s ‘singularity’—including ordinality and managing 80% of VAT—and said the party is pushing for full IRPF collection as internal critics work to force a non-binding members’ consultation.
