The government has confirmed that President Pedro Sánchez held two discreet meetings with ERC leader Oriol Junqueras before their public January 8 gathering at La Moncloa. These focused on negotiating the new regional financing system, which will benefit Catalonia with an additional 4,700 million euros.

The Spanish government has accelerated its proposal to reform the autonomous communities' financing model, aiming to present an advanced offer in the coming weeks that includes more resources for public services. This initiative seeks to appease partners like ERC, who are pressing for progress on Catalonia's singular financing, and to position itself favorably in the 2026 regional elections. Andalucía will benefit from financial improvements and significant debt relief.
