Feijóo seeks to deepen the rift against Sánchez within the PSOE over regional financing and demands the government "backtrack"

The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, urged the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, this Sunday to "backtrack" and "reverse" the regional financing model presented by his Executive, which has been rejected by all autonomous communities except Catalonia. At the same time, Feijóo pledged to promote a "fair," "transparent" financing system "thinking of all Spaniards," and offered the PSOE's autonomous communities the document signed by all the PP 'barons' in Zaragoza.

"**For us, equality among Spaniards is not for sale. The PP cannot reach the Presidency of the Government by breaking equality before the citizens**," stated Feijóo during an event at the World Trade Center in Zaragoza, which also included the **regional president, Jorge Azcón, and the mayor of the city, Natalia Chueca.**

Feijóo seeks to divide the PSOE over regional financing

After signing the so-called 'Zaragoza Declaration' with the PP presidents, which outlines the basis of the financing system the party would promote if it governed, Feijóo defended his "common project" for Spain against the "dismantling" of the State that, according to him, the government of Pedro Sánchez seeks after his "bilateral" pact with the president of ERC, Oriol Junqueras. He also urged them to stop "deceiving" and "using" Catalans. Feijóo highlighted that the 'Zaragoza Declaration'—signed by the 11 PP presidents, the two presidents of the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, and the regional PP presidents—could be signed by all regional presidents in Spain, including those from the PSOE.

In this regard, as we have been reporting on 'ElConstitucional.es', during the meeting of the Council of Fiscal and Financial Policy (CPFF) held this Wednesday, as we advanced in this newspaper, all the autonomous communities - **including those governed by the PSOE** - except Catalonia, expressed their opposition to the model proposed by the Executive, **considering that it is "tainted" by the prior agreement reached between the Government of Pedro Sánchez and the president of ERC, Oriol Junqueras.**
