The new autonomous financing starts its legislative journey with its sights set on Junts

The Spanish government's proposed new autonomous financing system has been approved by the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council (CPFF) with only Catalonia and Canary Islands voting in favor. The plan will now be taken to the Council of Ministers and then to Parliament, but its prospects of success are uncertain. The government's proposal has been met with widespread criticism from regional communities and opposition from the PP, with Junts insisting on a Basque-style economic agreement for Catalonia in order to support the plan. If the proposal does not meet this demand, Junts will veto it in Congress.
