Overview

• Jordi Turull said his reproaches over regional financing target the Spanish State and Finance Minister María Jesús Montero rather than Andalusia.
• He repeated his claim that about €22 billion raised in Catalonia leaves each year under the current model, arguing that basic services go underfunded and that gym or pet-related deductions are not solidarity.
• Andalusian leaders, including regional president Juanma Moreno, condemned his earlier comments, and Montero insisted that Andalusians do not live off anyone’s subsidies.
• Turull urged Montero to correct what he called an injustice in the financing system and asserted there is broad agreement in Catalonia that the current framework is untenable.
• Speaking in Vitoria-Gasteiz, he emphasized common ground with the PNV and denied that the Basque party intervened to secure Junts’ support for Pedro Sánchez’s government.
