Overview

  • María Jesús Montero unveiled 'nuevo andalucismo,' a 21st-century Andalusian identity project aimed at uniting the progressive majority to unseat the PP-A in the 2026 regional elections.
  • She announced plans for a political conference to gather input from unions, experts, and communities to shape PSOE-A's electoral platform.
  • Key healthcare pledges include limiting private-sector contracts, banning the outsourcing of primary care, and restoring patient rights lost under PP rule.
  • Montero emphasized economic transformation, promising wealth redistribution, stronger Andalusian representation in corporate boards, and AI development tailored to Andalusian culture.
  • Her campaign faces scrutiny over her role in signing €485 million in private healthcare contracts in 2012, which contrasts with her current policy proposals.
