Overview

• The city council, with the PP majority supporting a Vox motion, voted to require verbal and written, permanent and visible information about a so‑called post‑abortion condition across Madrid Salud centers, Equality Spaces/CIAM, Samur Social, social services and official websites, posters and leaflets.
• City legal and technical services are examining how to apply the measure, and PP amendments referenced a shift from “syndrome” to “trauma” and the need for prior legal vetting, though reports differ on the final wording.
• Health Minister Mónica García stated the diagnosis is not clinically recognized and cited a lack of scientific evidence, adding that her department will assess the measure’s legality and warning against transmitting non‑evidence‑based claims.
• PSOE and Más Madrid said they will go to court if the requirement is enforced, announced preparations for legal action, and urged municipal workers to invoke professional conscience provisions where applicable.
• National PP leaders backed the Madrid decision with the message that “information is never a problem,” Vox defended the move, and medical authorities noted the term is absent from DSM‑5 and ICD‑11 and not supported by professional consensus.
