Overview
- María Jesús Montero presented a proposal adding roughly €21 billion to the common system, embedding the ordinality principle and earmarking about €4.7 billion in extra funding for Catalonia.
- Government figures show the largest gains for Andalucía (€4.846 billion), followed by Catalonia (€4.686 billion), the Valencian Community (€3.669 billion) and Madrid (€2.555 billion), with all regions slated to receive more resources.
- The plan will be discussed at the Council of Fiscal and Financial Policy next week, with an anteproyecto expected within about two months, a congressional vote targeted before summer, and potential entry into force in 2027.
- Approval requires reforming LOFCA and securing 176 votes, as the PP opposes the approach, several regional leaders voice objections, and Junts signals it will file a full amendment, leaving the outcome uncertain.
- No agreement was reached on granting Catalonia full IRPF collection, and key mechanics such as a solidarity quota and tax‑management arrangements still need definition.
