SpainThe president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, has criticized Spain’s central government for attempting to impose a new autonomous financing model without consulting regional leaders or securing approval of the national budget for 2027. He accused the government of acting under pressure from Catalan independence supporters and called for a conference of regional presidents to discuss the proposal openly. The current plan, outlined by Finance Minister Arcadi España, would bypass such consultations and rely on support from Catalonia alone. Fourteen out of fifteen affected regions oppose the new system, which redistributes 225 billion euros annually.
