Overview
- The Ministry for the Ecological Transition has proposed cutting Tajo-Segura water transfers by up to 60% and raising reservoir thresholds for approvals.
- Valencia, Murcia, and Andalusia have aligned politically and legally to oppose the cuts, citing severe economic and agricultural impacts.
- Valencia's president Carlos Mazón criticized the proposed rules as a significant threat to southeastern livelihoods and called for PSOE deputies to block the measures.
- Castilla-La Mancha's president Emiliano García-Page welcomed the reductions, describing them as progress toward ending what he views as an inequitable system.
- The central government has not yet responded to southeastern leaders' demand for an urgent intergovernmental meeting, leaving the proposal's parliamentary approval uncertain.
