The Spanish government's proposal for a new funding model for Catalonia has ignited a fierce political debate.

The plan, described by Vice President María Jesús Montero as having "elements of a concert," aims to provide more resources to all communities.

However, it has been criticized by the opposition as a "brutal blow to equality.

" The debate has intensified tensions between the Catalan parties ERC and Junts, with accusations of betrayal and political maneuvering.

ERC's Gabriel Rufián criticized Junts for opposing the agreement, while Junts' Josep Maria Cruset accused ERC of acting like "bar bullies.

" The controversy highlights the ongoing struggle for political dominance in Catalonia and the challenges of negotiating regional funding in Spain.
