PP Unites Against Catalonia's Fiscal Deal

Published: 2024-08-26

The Spanish Popular Party (PP) is rallying its regional leaders to oppose a controversial fiscal agreement between the Spanish government and Catalonia.

The deal, struck by the Socialist Party (PSOE) and Catalan Republican Left (ERC), grants Catalonia a unique financial arrangement, sparking accusations of constitutional breach from the PP.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, PP leader, has called a meeting on September 6 to unify the party's stance against what they see as a threat to national solidarity.

The PP argues that this agreement undermines the equitable distribution of resources across Spain, potentially disadvantaging other regions.

The party is pushing for a multilateral approach to regional financing, emphasizing the need for solidarity and equality among all Spanish communities.

This move comes amid broader political tensions, with the PP positioning itself as a defender of constitutional integrity against perceived separatist advances.
