During an event held in Puente Genil, which included the presentation of the renovated Casa del Pueblo local headquarters, the socialist leadership stated that only their party can prevent the implementation of healthcare co-payments in the community. Citizens were urged to participate in the regional elections on May 17, viewing them as an opportunity to decide the model of public healthcare.
“"All Andalusians do have an appointment on May 17 at the polls, even if we don't have an appointment for the doctor or for surgery, but at the polls we can decide the government model we want and the healthcare we have because democracy makes it available to us."
The party leadership has toured the province to denounce the alleged dismantling of the public healthcare assistance network. Emphasis was placed on the importance of reminding the population about the situation of public services in Andalucía, especially healthcare, which, they claim, has been “dismantled, destroyed, privatized, and mistreated.”
The ‘Montero Plan’ for healthcare was presented, promising an additional investment of 3,000 million euros annually and the hiring of 18,000 professionals. This plan aims to ensure that patients are seen by a doctor within 48 hours, by a specialist within 60 days, and undergo surgery within 120 days, guaranteeing truly public healthcare.
At the event, the presence of a former mayor of Puente Genil and socialist spokesperson in the Provincial Council was highlighted, who holds the second position on the PSOE of Córdoba list. His experience and that of other list members, including the mayor who heads it, and others in prominent positions, were praised.
The local PSOE leadership indicated that the regional elections will serve as a prelude to strengthening the party for the municipal elections in 2027, with the goal of regaining positions like that of Puente Genil. A local campaign under the slogan ‘We Are Puente Genil’ was launched, seeking to listen to citizens and advance government projects.
Finally, criticism was directed at the local government's management, citing alleged deterioration in cleanliness and neglect of green areas and playgrounds. The return of PFEA funds and increased taxes, such as a 50% rise in waste collection fees, were also condemned.
