The recent fiscal agreement between the PSOE and ERC to invest Salvador Illa as the President of Catalonia has sparked significant backlash within the PSOE and among its coalition partners.

Leaders from nine regional federations, including Castilla-La Mancha's Emiliano García-Page, have openly criticized the deal, arguing it undermines principles of equality and solidarity by granting Catalonia a unique fiscal status.

García-Page stated, "This agreement exceeds all limits because it affects the pockets and lives of the people.

" Meanwhile, other PSOE leaders, including those from Extremadura and Andalusia, have echoed calls for a federal policy council meeting to discuss the implications of the pact.

The internal dissent highlights a growing rift within the party as it navigates the complexities of regional financing and national unity.
