Negotiations for the 2027 General State Budgets officially commenced at 11:15 AM on Wednesday, 16 September 2026. Minister of Finance Arcadi España met with Culture Minister Ernest Urtasun, representing Sumar, to initiate talks for the coalition government.
The strategy involves securing a coalition agreement before engaging parliamentary partners. Sumar is pushing for expansive spending focused on housing, including a public rental park and lower rents, alongside a universal child-rearing benefit and tax reforms.
The government aims to resolve the budget, financing models, and debt forgiveness before the Cortes dissolves. While the Ministry of Finance plans to contact the People's Party, Junts claims that previous legislative commitments remain unfulfilled by the state.
