  • Catalonia has achieved an improvement in its financing, which benefits all the autonomous communities, thanks to the write-off of 83.252 billion euros of accumulated debt.
  • The Popular Party opposes this improvement in financing, arguing that it exclusively benefits Catalonia.
  • Despite this argument, the figures show that most of the autonomous communities benefiting from the debt write-off are governed by the Popular Party, and Andalusia is the most benefited.
  • The strategy of the Popular Party could lead to tension with its own autonomous communities due to their tight finances.
  • The debt forgiveness process will be long, but it will eventually be approved despite the votes against it from the Popular Party's autonomous communities.

Conclusion: Despite opposition from some parties, the forgiveness of debt brings financial improvement for all autonomous communities and highlights the need for a more equitable new model of autonomous financing.
