Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and former President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero backed socialist candidate María Jesús Montero at the first campaign rally in Cártama, Málaga, on May 1. They called to concentrate the left-wing vote on the PSOE for the May 17 regional elections and defended progressive policies. Sánchez demanded Netanyahu release a Spanish citizen detained on a flotilla to Gaza.
María Jesús Montero, PSOE-A candidate to lead Andalusia's Junta, launched her election campaign in Granada on Thursday ahead of May 17. With the slogan 'defend the public', the former deputy prime minister focuses her speech on recovering public services against Juan Manuel Moreno's government. Accompanied by Miguel Ríos, she urged voters not to be 'duped' by PP propaganda.
