  "account": "Spain's Temporary Solidarity Tax on Large Fortunes (ITSGF) is facing a new legal challenge due to an unforeseen regressive feature. Lawyers have discovered that, in certain cases, individuals with more wealth may pay less tax than those with less wealth. This anomaly is said to contradict the principles of economic capacity, justice, and progressivity enshrined in Article 31.1 of the Spanish Constitution. The issue is attributed to the hasty introduction of the tax in 2022 and a technical flaw in the law's design. The Audiencia Nacional is currently reviewing at least three cases that challenge the constitutionality of the tax.",
