Overview
- The PP of Andalusia opened its XVII congress in Seville to renew Juanma Moreno’s leadership with a high‑visibility, entertainment‑styled event under the slogan “Siempre Andalucía.”
- Leaders highlighted moderation, municipal focus and unity, with Antonio Repullo’s management report approved unanimously and prominent appearances from provincial chiefs and national figures.
- The congress coincides with eight protests called for Sunday over strains in public healthcare, with CCOO, UGT and Mareas Blancas pressing ahead as some professional unions step back.
- In Valencia, following Carlos Mazón’s resignation, PP and Vox held a first contact on Friday, and Vox insisted the PP first name its nominee for president before any policy talks, with Mazón remaining in office in functions and a November 19 cutoff in place.
- Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez urged regional elections in the Valencian Community, citing concern over climate policy and criticizing a potential PP–Vox pact as climate denialism.
