Mariano Rajoy is clear: he will not grant a fiscal pact to Catalonia. And this is what the President of the Government will personally convey to Artur Mas at their meeting today, in Moncloa. In exchange, the Executive is willing to offer to make the conditions of the Catalan rescue more flexible and review the regional financing model in its favor. Generalitat, in their face-to-face meeting at La Moncloa : he will categorically reject any possibility of a fiscal pact for Catalonia. “He is not going to give an inch on that. It is a red line that will not be crossed ,” say sources close to the president. Mariano Rajoy will use as the main argument to reject it the content of the Constitution , which guarantees the principle of equal treatment, compared to a singular and bilateral agreement as proposed by the Generalitat. Exchanging documents According to the sources consulted, the economic teams of Moncloa and the Generalitat have been exchanging documents in recent weeks, mainly on data related to the financing of Catalonia .
In the Economic Office of the President, in harmony with the Ministry of Finance, they have been working for days on the preparation of this interview, and above all on the preparation of a motivated response , which will also be argued based on real economic data on the finances of the community.

One of the aspects in which the Executive is not going to close to negotiating with Mas are the conditions that the Generalitat will have to meet in exchange for the rescue of the community. Even, according to these sources, Rajoy will offer Mas a certain flexibility in the requirements to access the line of credit of 5,023 million euros requested by Catalonia from the Autonomous Liquidity Fund to stabilize its public accounts.

Review the regional financing model Another way that Rajoy is going to offer Artur Mas as 'compensation' for renouncing the fiscal pact is to modify the regional financing system , whose review must be carried out every five years, and which must be reconsidered in 2013. But there the President of the Government is going to draw a red line . He is willing to bring forward the modification of the financing model of the autonomous communities to this year , and even make 'winks' to Catalonia in this review, "as long as the accounts of all of Spain balance , not just the Catalan ones they say in your economic team. That Artur Mas can 'sell it' The Government also seeks another effect with these 'concessions' to Catalonia .
