The Popular Party has urged the PSOE to issue a public apology following an incident in Cabra, where a socialist affiliate confronted the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, during Holy Week.

During a press conference preceding the Provincial Board of the PP of Córdoba, Adolfo Molina, the provincial president of the party, condemned the “outbursts” of a socialist militant, who had also served as a councilor in the municipality. Molina criticized the lack of an official apology or disciplinary action against the individual involved.

"What would have happened if it had been the other way around? If a Popular Party militant had done the same to a Socialist Party regional president?"

According to the popular leader, the PSOE's silence on this behavior implies an “endorsement” of what occurred in Cabra. Adolfo Molina clarified that the militant was arrested by the National Police for resisting authority, not solely for insulting the Andalusian president. He contrasted this event with the “serenity, common sense, and temperance” that, in his view, define Juanma Moreno's government.
Both Adolfo Molina and Antonio Repullo, secretary general of the PP of Andalucía, framed these events within a climate of “great nervousness” among socialist ranks ahead of the upcoming elections on May 17. Repullo stated that while the PP focuses on governance and the issues affecting Andalusians, the PSOE represents a project based on “chaos” and “corruption”.
Molina added that the PSOE would attempt to “boycott” the electoral campaign due to a lack of arguments against the Junta's management, particularly in areas like public healthcare, where the PP claims to have achieved higher investment and professional levels than during the socialist era. The popular party used the meeting to confirm Miguel Ángel Torrico as the leader of its campaign team, aiming to consolidate political change in Andalucía in the upcoming elections.
