La nueva financiación autonómica inicia su recorrido legislativo con la vista puesta en Junts

Hacienda llevará la reforma al Consejo de Ministros en las próximas semanas tras recibir el voto favorable de solo dos comunidades y sin una mayoría parlamentaria asegurada

La nueva financiación autonómica inicia su recorrido legislativo con la vista puesta en Junts

The new autonomous funding designed by the Government is set to begin its legislative journey with an eye on Junts. The proposal, which faced nearly unanimous criticism from the communities, only secured the support of Catalonia and the Canary Islands in the Council of Fiscal Policy and Finance (CPFF), while the rest of the territories rejected it.

Following its approval on Friday within the CPFF, the Ministry of Finance plans to bring the funding to the Council of Ministers in the coming weeks, according to the cabinet minister, Arcadi España. The most challenging phase ahead is the examination by the Parliament, whose outcome appears to be unfavorable for the Executive. Junts, the crucial support required for the initiative to become law once PP is firmly opposed, continues to demand an economic concordat like the one in the Basque Country for Catalonia.

Any measure that does not keep the community within the common system, the independentist party has warned, will face its veto in the Congress.
