The recent agreement between the PSC and ERC to invest Salvador Illa as the President of Catalonia has sparked significant political turmoil, particularly among leftist parties in Spain.

While the PSOE supports the deal, which includes a unique financing model for Catalonia, parties like Compromís and IU have voiced strong opposition, arguing it undermines solidarity among regions and fails to address the long-standing underfunding of Valencia and Aragón.

This division within the left has raised concerns about the potential for a fractured coalition as the government prepares to present the necessary reforms to the Congress.

Meanwhile, the Vice President Yolanda Díaz has remained silent on the issue, further frustrating her allies who seek a more equitable financing system.

As tensions rise, the future of the agreement and its implications for regional financing remain uncertain.
