Galician regional government disputes with Spanish state

Overview

The Xunta de Galicia has engaged in several disputes with the Spanish central government regarding environmental management and resource allocation.

In early October, regional officials urged the Spanish government to submit Iberian wolf data covering 2019 to 2024 to the European Commission. Marisol Díaz, General Director of Natural Heritage, described the delay in transmitting this report as ‘unsustainable’. The Xunta also noted that the Ministry for the Ecological Transition owes the region approximately 12 million euros intended for livestock farmers to mitigate wolf-related damage.

Following this, President Alfonso Rueda appealed to the European Union for specific funding to address drought and seasonal wildfires in Galicia. Rueda criticized the central government for a lack of communication regarding the negotiation of the new European financial framework and called for concrete resources to support peripheral regions in climate change defense.
