Sanchez Meets Junqueras to Discuss Legislature Future - Madrid

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, receives the President of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC), Oriol Junqueras, at the Moncloa Palace, on January 8, 2026, in Madrid (Spain). During their meeting, both will discuss the future of the legislature, although it is not expected that an agreement on financing will come out of this meeting, since Moncloa considers that this meeting is not the framework to close the financing model, despite the fact that ERC has demanded a singular financing for Catalonia.
