Castilla-La Mancha Opposition Presses Accountability Over Talavera Breast-Screening Delays

Opposition moves raise pressure over a months-long disruption in Talavera mammograms.

Overview

  • The regional Partido Popular filed a formal request for Emiliano García-Page to appear before the Cortes to explain the Talavera breast-screening breakdown.
  • Vox said it will seek the censure of the health minister on Thursday, demand a full audit of health management, and urge the public prosecutor to intervene.
  • Opposition leaders contend the government knew of the disruption in May and only reacted after media scrutiny in October.
  • PP figures allege the mammography contract was awarded at a suspiciously low price to Centro Médico de Diagnóstico de Talavera despite technical warnings, raising concerns about test quality.
  • Thousands protested in Seville over separate screening failures in Andalucía, with cancer survivor Cristina Medina and patient group Amama amplifying calls for accountability.
