Overview

• Vox leader Santiago Abascal, in a Seville appearance outside the regional parliament, called for Juan Manuel Moreno to step down and bring forward elections slated for June 2026.
• Abascal said Vox will file a complaint with the Fiscalía to investigate the breast-cancer screening breakdown, noting other parties have already gone to prosecutors.
• The scandal has already forced the resignation of health minister Rocío Hernández and intensified scrutiny of the PP’s management of public health.
• Abascal blamed both PSOE and PP for the protocol failures, casting the PP as a “blue PSOE,” and stopped short of confirming Manuel Gavira as Vox’s candidate.
• The episode has energized left-wing forces in Andalusia, but party sources and analysts expect the regional vote to remain on its June 2026 schedule.
