Abascal Demands Moreno Resign and Call Snap Andalusian Elections

Regional elections remain set for June 2026 unless the Andalusian president dissolves the chamber.

Overview

  • Santiago Abascal used a staged appearance outside the Andalusian Parliament in Seville to urge Juanma Moreno to step down and bring forward the vote.
  • Vox said it will file a complaint with the public prosecutor seeking an investigation into failures in breast cancer screening notifications.
  • The screening scandal, involving unjustified delays in alerts to women, already led to the resignation of health minister Rocío Hernández, which Abascal called insufficient.
  • Abascal faulted both the PSOE and the PP for the health system failures, casting the PP as a continuation of socialist policies in the region.
  • He praised regional leader Manuel Gavira but stopped short of confirming him as Vox’s candidate for the presidency.
