Overview

  • The official call published in the BOE lists only Santiago de Compostela as the exam venue in Galicia for the 2026 intake.
  • Vigo mayor Abel Caballero sent new letters to Health Minister Mónica García and regional health chief Antonio Gómez Caamaño urging the city's reinstatement.
  • Caballero said the city will file motions in the Vigo council, the Galician Parliament and the Senate to press for a reversal.
  • The Partido Popular registered a parliamentary initiative to urge the Health Ministry to restore Vigo as a venue, arguing the ministry decides the sites.
  • Accounts diverge on whether the Galician conselleiro protested the change, with the PP saying he did and the mayor asserting he did not; Caballero's request covers MIR, PIR, EIR, FIR, QUIR, BIR and RFIR.
