The Community of Madrid will not attend a meeting of the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council (CPFF) called to vote on a new autonomous financing model. The region, led by Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has encouraged other autonomous regions governed by the PP to also boycott the meeting. The meeting, scheduled for tomorrow, is expected to approve the new model with only the votes of Catalonia and the Canary Islands.

The Community of Madrid claims the new financing system has been agreed upon bilaterally by the Spanish and Catalan governments, excluding other autonomous regions.
