How do the negotiated changes to the tourist tax reflect the balance of power within the Catalan coalition government and its potential impact on revenue projections?

The \$1.3 billion supplementary credit, split into three parts per ERC's request, allocates \$1 billion to counter inflation and the rest to address Trump's tariffs, including aid for the agro-food industry affected by recent hailstorms. The delay of the tourist tax, initially opposed by ERC due to its uniform structure, is a concession to secure its passage.
