Tensions were high between the People's Party (PP) and the Spanish government during the Conference of Presidents, held this Friday at the Palau de Pedralbes in Barcelona. The president of the Madrid government, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and the Minister of Health, Mónica García, clashed over the management of nursing homes immediately after the summit began, during the official greeting. The clash lasted several seconds, until a protocol officer separated them. As reported by the parties involved, the confrontation between the two occurred when García went to give her two kisses, and Ayuso refused to shake her hand. "Do you still want to kiss a murderer?" the PP leader reportedly asked.

On the eve of the Conference of Presidents, Isabel Díaz Ayuso increases the PP's pulse against the Spanish governmentThe Madrid president not only rebelled against the fact that regional presidents can speak Catalan, Galician, and Basque, but also flatly rejected, via letter, the proposal made by Spanish President Pedro Sánchez on housing: tripling investment in exchange for the regions permanently protecting public housing. This further strained a conference that the Popular Party (PP) had already pushed to the limit when they threatened to walk out if the Spanish government didn't agree to expand the meeting's agenda. In addition to housing, universities, and vocational training—the topics planned by the Spanish government—the conservatives demanded inclusion of issues such as regional financing, debt forgiveness, border control, and the energy blackout. This Friday's meeting, therefore, will not be a pleasant one.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez proposes that the autonomous communities triple state investment in housing and protect public housing for life. The Spanish Prime Minister has launched a proposal that shifts the focus of the summit toward housing, one of the two areas he initially proposed to address (along with universities and vocational training). All of this would be formalized in a State Housing Agreement, which is in the Spanish government's pocket (40%).

There will be no snub from the regional presidents of the People's Party (PP) at the Conference of Presidents. The arm wrestling match between Alberto Núñez Feijóo's party and the Spanish government over the summit to be held this Friday in Barcelona has resulted in a Solomonic solution: the central government has agreed to include on the agenda each and every one of the points that the PP had requested to be discussed. men of the PP, and they, in return, will be photographed with the Spanish president, Pedro Sánchez, in the Catalan capital just two days before of the demonstration that the party has called against its governmentThe toll that Sánchez will have to pay will be having to argue with the men from the PP, issues that were not included in their plans, such as regional financing, debt forgiveness, occupations, border control, and the massive blackout. The executive has given in, although it warns that there are issues "that must be addressed in other bodies."
