The Vox candidate for the Presidency of the Board, Manuel Gavira, has denounced this Saturday the situation of Andalusian public health, which he has described as a “health collapse”, and has assured that more than one million Andalusians are on waiting lists.
Gavira made these statements to the media at the doors of the Hospital Universitario Puerta del Mar de Cádiz, from where he attacked the management of the Andalusian president, Juanma Moreno, in full electoral pre-campaign.
The Vox leader maintained that Andalusia is "at the bottom of the operations" in Spain and accused the regional government of not prioritizing healthcare.
Healthcare, dependency, and immigration at the heart of the discourse
During his speech, Gavira also reproached the Andalusian Executive for the situation of dependency and stated that thousands of people die waiting for public aid.
Furthermore, he linked the deterioration of public services with the central government's immigration policy and accused Moreno of not opposing the regularization promoted by Pedro Sánchez.
The candidate extended his criticisms to employment, housing, and security, and maintained that the “collapse” is not limited solely to healthcare. With an eye on the May 17 elections, Vox seeks to make the management of public services and immigration two of the central pillars of its campaign in Andalusia.
