Genoa Diverges from Moncloa's Anti-Duty Plan Amidst Ongoing Negotiations

The Popular Party expresses dissatisfaction with the government's tariff decree, seeking further discussions to address the impact on Spanish businesses.
In recent developments, the Popular Party (PP) and the government led by Pedro Sánchez have engaged in close communications, although these discussions have not yet resulted in a formal agreement.

On Tuesday, the Sánchez administration approved a new decree aimed at countering tariffs, which includes provisions partly tailored to appease the PP. However, the leadership of the Popular Party has deemed these adjustments 'insufficient.'

The PP indicates that it remains open to further negotiations in order to enhance support for Spanish enterprises facing significant challenges due to the ongoing trade conflicts.

Key stakeholders within the PP have identified obstacles in these discussions, particularly pointing to the government's concurrent negotiations with Junts, which resulted in a tariff quota agreement perceived as disproportionately distributing resources among Spanish citizens.

The context of these negotiations reflects broader challenges stemming from international trade dynamics, particularly as Spanish companies navigate the repercussions of heightened tariffs in various sectors, intensifying calls for governmental intervention and support.
