Regional governments governed by the Popular Party (PP) in Spain have sent a formal letter to the central government requesting the postponement of a meeting regarding the new financing model until September.
The regional authorities argue that the process has been compromised, criticizing the executive branch for giving them only three days to review the recently provided documentation.
In a separate development in Colombia, the Comptroller General's Office has issued a warning regarding a significant surge in public sector contracting by the administration of President Gustavo Petro, noting that more than 11,000 contracts were signed within a four-week period. The oversight body activated this warning mechanism to address potential budgetary and contractual risks that could impact the country's fiscal sustainability.
