Overview

• Under a draft cybersecurity governance law the center will be an administrative department under the National Security Department in Moncloa with no offices of its own.
• Málaga City Council and the Andalusian Parliament had unanimously backed hosting a fully equipped center with 36 positions, office space, vehicles and security infrastructure.
• Antonio Sanz denounced the move as “a new discrimination” and accused the PSOE-led government of an anti-Andalusian bias.
• Málaga mayor Francisco de la Torre attributed the reclassification to miscommunication over the center’s status and reiterated the city’s readiness to host.
• Andalusian authorities are demanding that Madrid reverse the decision and provide a dedicated headquarters to support the region’s digital and cybersecurity ecosystem.
