How does the "principle of ordinality" affect the agreement's solidarity aspect, and what are the potential risks to the national budget?

This agreement fundamentally alters Spain's financing system, granting Catalonia preferential treatment that other regions may not receive. The agreement includes a "principle of ordinality", limiting the amount Catalonia must contribute, creating risk of significant financial burden on the central government if other regions' contributions decline. The agreement's design and implementation favor Catalonia's economic prosperity and its pursuit of greater self-governance, potentially leading to further regional tensions.
