Overview

• Junts secretary general Jordi Turull accused the Junta de Andalucía of promoting tax deductions using Catalan money in interviews on La 2 and Ràdio 4.
• Andalusia’s plan includes a deduction of up to €100 for gym fees and federated sports, first‑year veterinary expenses for companion animals, and rent relief of €1,200 (€1,500 for people with disabilities) for eligible tenants.
• Turull argued that Catalonia cannot extend certain supports such as school‑meal grants and dependency benefits, citing strained services and rapid population growth.
• He renewed calls for immigration competences for Catalonia after a transfer proposal failed in the Congress of Deputies this week, with PP, Vox, Podemos and some Sumar lawmakers voting against.
• Andalusian economy chief Carolina España urged Finance Minister María Jesús Montero to seek a public apology from Junts and asserted the region’s right to manage its budget and competences.
