The Andalusian government, led by the Partido Popular, transferred management of the Integral Forensic Assessment Units (UVFIs) to the political party Vox. This administrative shift gives Vox oversight regarding personnel, budgets, risk assessments for victims of gender-based violence, protection orders, and child custody arrangements.

The decision has triggered an institutional crisis. Spanish Equality Minister Ana Redondo has demanded explanations from President Juanma Moreno, warning that the transfer could jeopardize state funds intended for combating violence against women. Critics have expressed concern that empowering a party that denies the existence of gender-based violence may compromise victim safety and bypass established state agreements.
