Overview
- Medical unions led by CESM have called a national strike for June 15–19 and plan a mass demonstration in Madrid to press labour demands.
- Unions are demanding a separate 'Estatuto Propio' for doctors, a 35‑hour workweek, formal recognition of on‑call and extra hours as paid time, and dedicated negotiation forums.
- The Health Ministry says it has presented the draft Estatuto Marco and passed responsibility to the autonomous communities after the June 10 Interterritorial meeting failed to reach agreements.
- Galicia's doctors union Simega filed eleven formal alegaciones against the government draft and Sergas reports about 216,400 postponed medical acts since strikes began in December.
- Unions warn strikes will continue and intensify if meaningful talks do not start, and regional moves such as Asturias negotiating its own statute underline growing fragmentation and the risk of further disruption to care.
