The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, announced this Saturday that the government will guarantee the right to be forgotten oncology. After a visit to cancer patients and associations in Seville, Sánchez conveyed the commitment to “immediately implement this new right to the representatives of different entities and associations linked to the fight against cancer”.

For this, the Executive will promote the modification of the Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, of November 16, which approves the revised text of the General Law for the Defense of Consumers and Users and other complementary laws, and the Insurance Contract Law. In this way, this new commitment announced with Sánchez will enter into force in June and will have three main objectives. First, “declare null and void all clauses based on cancer history that exclude or discriminate when contracting products or services.” It is also intended to “prohibit taking into account the oncological history of the insured to impose more onerous conditions in insurance contracts.” Thirdly, this new government measure also aims to “establish, for the first time, the right not to declare that cancer has been suffered when they go to take out insurance linked to a mortgage loan.”

As reported by the Government, these new rights “will benefit all people who have completed cancer treatment 5 years before the date of signing the contract, without subsequent relapse.”

Tour through several autonomous communities

After Andalusia, Sánchez will tour seven autonomous communities next week, with stops in 8 cities and the mid-campaign rally, on May 20, in Valencia, according to socialist sources.

This weekend he is participating in two events on Saturday in Seville, where he will begin the electoral campaign for the municipal and regional elections on May 28 upon his return from the visit to the US president, Joe Biden, and on Sunday in Puertollano. In this last square he will coincide with the president of Castilla La Mancha, Emiliano García Page and the Minister of Territorial Policy and former mayor of the town, Isabel Rodríguez.

As of Monday, there will be seven different Autonomous Communities to which he will go next week, although touring 8 cities. Thus, on Monday he will arrive in Vitoria together with the general secretary of the PSE-EE, Eneko Andueza, and the candidate for mayor of Vitoria, Maider Etxebarria.

On Tuesday he will play the Madrid town of Alcalá de Henares and on Wednesday the President of the Government will visit the Balearic Islands, with a stopover in Ibiza at noon and Palma de Mallorca in the afternoon.
