AP-9 highway transfer negotiations in Galicia

Overview

Negotiations regarding the transfer of the AP-9 highway to the Galician regional government have emerged as a point of discussion between the Spanish central government and regional actors.

Pedro Blanco, the Government Delegate in Galicia, expressed optimism that the central government has agreed to negotiate with the Xunta to reach an agreement and avoid potential unconstitutionality appeals. He indicated that the central government is also expected to transfer competencies related to aerodromes and work permits to the Xunta following the validation of economic and personnel quantifications.

In contrast, the PPdeG has demanded the transfer of the highway alongside the total liberalization of its tolls. The political group criticized the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility for its silence regarding studies sent by Galicia aimed at ending toll collections. PPdeG deputies have urged the convening of a Bilateral Commission to resolve regulatory discrepancies under Organic Law 3/2026, arguing that the current toll system negatively impacts regional economic development.
