Spain's government, led by President Pedro Sánchez and Vice President María Jesús Montero, has unveiled a new regional funding model following a 40-day silence.

This model, part of an agreement with ERC to support Salvador Illa's presidency, aims to increase state contributions to ensure no region is underfunded.

The proposal has sparked controversy, particularly from Madrid, which is accused of lowering taxes for the wealthy while relying on state funds.

The plan emphasizes solidarity and aims to balance regional financial disparities.

However, critics argue that the model lacks transparency and detail, with some viewing it as a tactical move rather than a strategic overhaul.

The government plans bilateral meetings with regional leaders to further discuss the model, which remains a contentious topic in Spanish politics.
