"We want to die of old age, not of cancer": The mammogram scandal has left thousands of people on the streets in Seville.

BarcelonaThousands of people have supported the victims of the scandal this Sunday. Delay in mammograms in Andalusia at a rally in Seville organized by the Amama association, which represents several women with breast cancer. The protest filled the square where the Andalusian presidential headquarters are located and served as a platform not only to denounce the management and response of Juanma Moreno Bonilla's Popular Party government in this case—which affects at least 1,300 women, according to data acknowledged so far by the regional government—but also to demand "quality public healthcare."

"We want to die of old age, not of cancer," exclaimed Ángela Claverol, president of Amama, during the reading of the manifesto, while shouts in favor of President Moreno Bonilla's resignation were heard among the audience. Speaking to the press, Claverol expressed satisfaction with the public's response and warned that her fight does not end here because the main objective is to determine who is responsible and strengthen the cancer prevention system. "They don't give a shit about us women," Claverol denounced, asserting that the errors in mammograms are "just the tip of the iceberg" in the destruction of the public system.

This is the second time that Amama has brought the errors in mammogram screening to the streets, and it has managed to put the Popular Party executive on the ropes nine months before the regional elections, scheduled for June of next year. The day after the first protest, on October 8, the president accepted the resignation of Health Minister Rocío Hernández, who had attributed the scandal to manipulation by the opposition. The appointment of Antonio Sanz, a man very close to Moreno Bonilla, as her replacement did not calm the situation, as he has not yet provided information on how it was possible that the public health services failed to inform women that the diagnostic tests indicated abnormalities suspected of a tumor.

Sanz has thrown balls out and has accused Amama of generating a "beastly social alarm" and of being responsible for the loss of confidence in the Andalusian healthcare system. She has also compared the removal of mammograms from the women's medical records to the computer errors that prevented the sale of tickets for the La Oreja de Van Gogh concert.

The Prosecutor's Office has opened two cases to determine whether, as the women claim, the Regional Government erased the radiologists' indications regarding suspicions from the mammograms and the fact that the diagnosis changed overnight from "possible cancer" to "possibly benign." Since the scandal broke in early October, the Regional Government has changed its story several times, but has yet to provide official explanations for the origin of the errors or whether other pathologies are affected.
