The new autonomous financing starts its legislative journey with its sights set on Junts
The Ministry of Finance will take the reform to the Council of Ministers in the coming weeks after receiving the favourable vote of only two regional governments and without a guaranteed parliamentary majority.
The Spanish government's new autonomous financing plan has been approved by the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council (CPFF) with only Catalonia and Canary Islands voting in favor. The plan will be taken to the Council of Ministers in the coming weeks, then to Parliament, where its prospects are uncertain. The government's proposal has been met with widespread criticism from regional communities.
Junts, a party needed to pass the plan, is demanding an economic agreement for Catalonia similar to the Basque region's, and has threatened to veto the plan if this is not granted.
