Overview

• The city plenary passed Vox’s motion, with PP votes, to require “obligatory, verbal and written, permanent and visible” messaging on the alleged condition across Madrid Salud, Equality spaces, Samur Social, social services and official websites.
• Spain’s Health Ministry says the condition is not a clinical diagnosis and has opened a legal review of the measure’s compatibility with national health and reproductive rights law.
• Municipal staff, unions and the Madrid social‑work college say they will not deliver information they consider false or unethical, calling the order coercive.
• PSOE and Más Madrid plan to take the policy to court if the city attempts to enforce it, citing the 2023 reproductive health law that makes abortion‑related information voluntary on request.
• On Thursday, Mayor José Luis Martínez‑Almeida acknowledged the alleged syndrome is not scientifically recognized and said any materials would be defined by city professionals and offered only to women who request them.
