The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) is facing significant internal discord as it convenes its fourth federal committee meeting this year.

The controversy stems from a special financial agreement for Catalonia, negotiated by the Catalan Republican Left (ERC) and the Catalan Socialists (PSC), in exchange for supporting Salvador Illa's presidency.

This deal has sparked criticism from several regional leaders within the party, who fear it may disadvantage other regions and weaken their political stance.

Key figures like Emiliano García-Page and Javier Lambán are leading the opposition, arguing that the agreement undermines constitutional consensus.

Despite reassurances from Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez that all regions will benefit financially, tensions remain high.

The upcoming Federal Congress aims to address these issues and realign the party's territorial discourse.
