Andalusia's Junta president, Juanma Moreno, announced Parliament's dissolution and regional elections for May 17, advancing the date initially set for June. The move follows a full four-year term, unseen in 14 years, aiming to boost turnout by avoiding events like the Pope's visit. PSOE candidate María Jesús Montero will leave her role as Spain's first deputy prime minister to focus on the campaign.
