Summary/Abstract: From the dimension of a state of autonomies, Spain has now become a formal unitary political structure, functioning on basis of the principles of fiscal federalism. The asymmetrical character of regionalism, especially the special statute of the autonomous historical communities, makes the Spanish state have an administrative architecture similar to the ones of the federal states, which does not exclude contestations and especially the fiscal federalism claims which become more and more visible, leading towards secession.
