Overview
- Finance Minister María Jesús Montero presented the outline at the CPFF, saying ordinality will apply for Catalonia and projecting €21 billion in extra regional resources by 2027, including roughly €4.7 billion for Catalonia.
- The PP’s 11 regional governments rejected the approach, plan to unveil an alternative at a summit in Aragón this weekend, and warned of potential constitutional challenges while opting to attend the CPFF session.
- PSOE leaders Emiliano García‑Page and Adrián Barbón oppose ordinality and will not back Montero’s formulation, leaving her with limited socialist support beyond the Catalan government.
- La Moncloa confirmed two previously undisclosed meetings between Pedro Sánchez and ERC’s Oriol Junqueras before the proposal; Junts, Sumar and Podemos also voiced opposition.
- Sánchez scheduled a Monday meeting with PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo on Ukraine and defense policy, as the PP insists on full parliamentary votes for strategy and refuses isolated approvals.
