Doctors have postponed the planned strike, due to start on 28 October, but have not dropped their campaign. Pedro Sánchez called general elections for 29 November 2026, ending the current route for negotiations. The next Government will face the same dispute. The OMC called the delay reasonable and said the medical profession must stay alert.
The Committee of Strike has kept the strike call in force. CESM says stoppages can resume if the next Government refuses to address the profession's demands. The Sindicato Médico Andaluz, or SMA, and the Sindicato Médico de Euskadi, or SME, share that position.
