Well, then I have to guess that any solution will need confederal elements.

(I suspected the system was already virtually Federal.)

There's going to have to be some move towards confederalism, just to have some negotiating ground. It seems very unlikely to me that negotiations will succeed on the basis that "things are basically Federal, so we'll stick with that." Some concessions, however symbolic will be required, is my guess.

I think you underestimate the symbolic value of calling a spade a spade and making Spain an explicitly federal state.

Plus, there's no way in Hell the PP is going to accept a confederal solution. Not for another 30 years anyway.
