The Spanish Government

On Monday, PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo again called for the resignation of the government president after the Supreme Court sentenced Abalos to 24 years in prison.

The measure, which will affect 1.6 million people, will result in an increase in subsidies, which will be approved by the Spanish Government by decree.

In a telematic meeting, the parties comprising the majority of the Bureau (PSOE and Sumar) argue that this competence lies exclusively with the Head of Government and not with the legislature.

On the eve of the fifth week of medical strike, the Health Counselor has acknowledged that the stoppages have had a "major impact" on waiting lists and has reported that 2,500 people have already been referred to concerted clinics for surgery.

In two words, a summary of what will be news of the Present today.

On behalf of the Association for the Rights of Doctors and the Unitary Movement of Doctors, Sara Lizeaga, a doctor at Donostia Hospital, appeared before the media this afternoon to say that "most of their demands can be channelled" by the Basque Government.

The trade unions responded to the letter sent this morning by the Ministry of Health with a harsh statement accusing the department headed by Monica Garcia of "disrupting public opinion."

At the closing of the Spanish Interterritorial Health Council, the Health Adviser, Alberto Martínez, said that "the opportunity to resolve the conflict has been missed" and accused the Minister of Health, Mónica García, of ignoring doctors, trade unions and the autonomous communities.

The Minister of Health of the Basque Government has explained that 16 Autonomous Communities have signed a common document that will be addressed as the first point at the Interterritorial Health Meeting. Alberto Martínez has highlighted the criticism of the Ministry of Health for not having reached an agreement with professionals and the Autonomous Communities and has stressed that the minister "has remained alone" in managing the conflict.

The lehendakari has advocated political stability and cooperation to move the Basque Country forward: it has called for the closure of outstanding transfers before July and has warned that alleged cases of corruption cannot be an excuse to stop governing.

In response to a question from EH Bildu Senator Josu Estarrona, the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, said that last week's police operation in Navarre was "appropriate and proportionate" to the "incidents that occurred around the University of Navarre on 30 October 2025 against an act of Vito Quiles", in which 28 people were arrested.

Doctors, who have been protesting for more than a year, calling for a statute of their own that takes into account the specificities of their profession, believe that the reform of the Framework Statute recently adopted by the Council of Ministers of the Spanish Government does not meet the demands of doctors.

The Minister of Health recalled that since 2000 the Autonomous Communities have been responsible for the management of the health system, including those relating to management, staff planning, human resources and improvements in working conditions.

The Ministry of Health has convened the Autonomous Communities on Wednesday for an extraordinary meeting of the Interterritorial Health Council to discuss the reform of the Framework Statute and the medical strike.

The Health Adviser, Alberto Martínez, has highlighted the progress of negotiations with health professionals in the Basque Country and criticized the management of the Ministry of Health in the processing of the new Framework Statute.

The President of the Spanish Government himself requested the appearance on 27 May, following the entry of the UCO of the Civil Guard into Ferraz, to gather information related to the case of former socialist militant Leire Díaz.

The Second Vicelehendakari of the Basque Government and Counsellor for Economy, Labour and Employment, Mikel Torres, hopes that the UCO investigation into the SEPI grants to Tubos Reunion "will not affect" the company's creditor competition, although it is clear that "it will not cooperate."

Pedro Sánchez has announced that the PSOE legal team is studying all the documentation on the Leire case to take appropriate action to protect the party's "honour." "My government is a clean government, my party is an honest party and, above all, it is a matter of a few corruptions," he said.
