What changed
This law formally enshrines Madrid's financial autonomy by codifying its right to regulate its own taxes and spending within constitutional limits. It creates an obligation for Madrid's government and assembly to defend that autonomy against any central-government action that would infringe on it, including by filing constitutional challenges, and requires regular public reporting on revenue allocation and the region's fiscal position relative to other autonomous communities.
Who is affected
The law applies to the Madrid Assembly, the regional government and its agencies. It also affects residents indirectly, as the law guarantees transparency about how their taxes are raised and spent.
