Sumar mitigates public discrepancies on regional financing

The pact between PSC and ERC created a rift between the Sumar parties in the summer. There are issues that complicate consensus in the left-wing coalition and that require a constant effort of dialogue between all its sensitivities, as happened in the past with the debate on prostitution. After the turbulence of August, in recent weeks the formations that were most critical of the agreement for Catalonia have lowered their tone to avoid the discrepancies around this issue generating an image of disunity in public opinion.

Compromís and Chunta Aragonesista were the first parties to warn that they would not vote in favour of any reform in Congress that did not also include better funding for the Valencian Community and Aragon, respectively. Izquierda Unida expressed its misgivings in a statement from the executive in which it rejected the principle of ‘ordinality’ signed, which establishes that this community cannot contribute more resources to the State than it receives from that administration.
