PP Andalusia Opens Congress to Ratify Moreno as Opposition Forces Force Budget Clash

The gathering doubles as a bid to steady Moreno's majority by foregrounding a moderate, deal‑making brand.

Overview

  • The PP-A congress begins in Seville with Juanma Moreno set for ratification backed by 39,529 endorsements, with organizers expecting over 5,000 attendees.
  • Alberto Núñez Feijóo is scheduled to deliver the closing speech on Sunday as the party showcases its “Andalusian way” of moderation and dialogue.
  • All four opposition groups—PSOE, Vox, Por Andalucía and Adelante Andalucía—filed total amendments to the 2026 Budget, with the plenary debate set for Nov. 12 after the committee review on Nov. 7.
  • Recent polling places the PP at roughly 54–56 seats, putting the 55-seat absolute majority at risk and underpinning a strategy centered on a “double useful vote” to counter both Sánchez and Vox.
  • The congress unfolds under pressure from a health-screening failure that left around 2,000 women uninformed, prompting the health minister’s resignation and the appointment of Antonio Sanz as the government boosts SAS funding and staffing.
