The left unites this week in the Andalusian Parliament in an initiative to defend public health

The leftist opposition groups in the Andalusian Parliament – ​​PSOE-A, Por Andalucía, and Grupo Mixto-Adelante Andalucía – will unite next Wednesday, December 3, around a jointly registered illegal motion (PNL). “In defense of public health.

Specifically, this initiative proposes to be expressed by the Andalusian Parliament «Your support for organizations and social platforms And the unions that work to strengthen the defense of Andalusian public health.”

The Parliament also expresses its “rejection of the vague, misleading and institutionally hostile management of the crisis in the breast cancer screening program in Andalusia by the Government” to the Council; “For his disqualifying remarks towards the affected women Towards the Association of Women with Breast Cancer (Imam); By using administrative tools aimed at discrediting complainants and putting pressure on them; Obstructing the public clarification of the facts, and violating the principles of transparency, honesty, neutrality and responsibility required of senior officials in the Andalusian Military Council.”

On the other hand, the NLP of leftist groups proposes that Parliament urge the Andalusian government to “put an end to the health blackout and ensure maximum transparency by publishing, before December 31, 2025, in a complete, accessible and verifiable way and in open formats, with a complete historical series, all real data from the waiting lists for diagnostic tests of the public health system of Andalusia.”

PSOE-A, Por Andalucía y Adelante also wants Parliament to call on the Council to “put an end to the lack of information, ambiguity and inconsistencies discovered in cancer screening programmes, and immediately establish a public, periodic and unrestricted information system that reflects the real activity of said programmes, ensuring full and verifiable dissemination, before December 31, 2025”.

The explanation of the reasons for justifying this NLP is based on the “crisis of the breast cancer screening program in Andalusia”, which, according to the proposed groups, “It appears to have originated in April 2021when women were stopped proactively notifying women of questionable or inconclusive mammogram results, resulting in a serious structural failure that remained hidden for years.

According to the initiative, although the Association of Women Suffering from Breast Cancer (AMAMA) “reported this situation on several occasions”, it was “ignored by various officials of the Ministry of Health”, so “it was not until September 2025 when the first complaints began to be publicly known” from women for whom the Andalusian Health Service “took months and, in some cases, up to a year to inform them of the necessity of repeating the mammogram or supplementing it with ultrasound, a year after the radiologist had ordered it”. Tests to confirm a suspected diagnosis.

The groups that put forward this initiative recognize that “given the exceptional seriousness of the events, it is necessary for the Parliament of Andalusia to act”, and in this regard they criticize “that the affected women have suffered delays, uncertainty and apparent abandonment by the Department of Health”.

“The Omama Association, which exercised a function that should not have been the responsibility of a social entity, was unfairly attacked, defamed and targeted by Public officials “Whose priority should have been to provide clarifications and assume responsibilities,” can be read in the explanatory statement, which states that “the right to effective and safe public health care free from political manipulation has been jeopardized by an administration based on obfuscation, disinformation and institutional siege.”

In the opinion of the Socialist Workers Party of Pan-Africa, the Party of Andalusia and Adelante Andalusia, the junta government “has attempted to systematically evade transparency, downplay the scale of the problem and delegitimize those who reported it,” and “in the face of this drift, and to halt the deterioration that affects institutional credibility and citizens’ confidence, it is essential” that Parliament encourages “a firm initiative that requires clarity, protection of those affected, and ensuring that nothing like this happens again.”

On the other hand, the Por Andalucía group plans to defend other health-related NLP, in this case separatelyalso on Wednesday in the plenary session of ParliamentRelated to publishing waiting lists and delay dates for conducting diagnostic tests in Andalusia.

Specifically, through this initiative, consulted by Europa Press, the group “For Andalusia” wants Parliament to urge the Council “to publish waiting lists and delay times before the end of the year for all diagnostic tests pending in the Andalusian health service.”

From there, Por Andalusia wants Parliament to urge the Andalusian government to update this data on lists and waiting times “on a semi-annual basis and with an indication of all the specialties and health centers that rely on it in each of the Andalusian provinces,” as well as “publish the aforementioned data from June 2018 to the present, to maintain an essential historical series for the improvement of public health policies.”

In the explanatory statement for the initiative, Por Andalucía highlighted that SAS “has been publishing for years delay times and the number of patients on the waiting list for treatment,” and specifically, “on a semi-annual basis, information on waiting lists for surgical interventions, outpatient consultations and diagnostic tests is published and can be consulted.”

Packing

“Since June 2018, the Andalusian government has decided to cancel the publication of what concerns diagnostic tests,” according to the Por Andalucía website, which in this initiative speaks of a “blocking of information” that “prevents knowledge of the development of this key part of the care path that every user of the Andalusian health service requires,” because it is not known “how many people are waiting and the duration of the diagnostic test that determines their treatment to be carried out.” Or, where appropriate, the surgical intervention required.

On the other hand, they went out this Sunday to Several leftist groups participated in the demonstrations To commemorate December 4th. And so Adelante Andalucía shines in one of the Plaza del Altozano to San Telmo, Seville.

During the mobilization, the spokesman for Adelante Andalusia, José Ignacio Garcia has a dual message for 4D technology: fair financing Because it is currently mistreating Andalusia, and the money is allocated to public health and not to Al-Aissa

When asked about the PP’s anti-corruption demonstration, Garcia wondered if they would also demonstrate against the accused PP directors.
