The moving gratitude of a father who lost his son with butterfly skin to Juanma Moreno for the fight of his Government against the disease

A video shared by Juanma Moreno has moved thousands of people on social media after capturing the telephone conversation between a worker from the Andalusian Popular Party team and a citizen from Cordoba who wanted to personally thank the Andalusian president for his work with the butterfly skin disease. Moreno himself accompanied the publication on X with a simple and close message: “Real people talking like real people”.

During the call, the man explained that he lost his son affected by the disease and assured he felt deeply grateful for the support received from the Andalusian Government. “What Juanma Moreno has done for this disease… if I saw him right now I would kiss his feet”, he stated emotionally during the conversation.

The worker of the popular team responded with empathy and respect, lamenting the loss of her son and thanking for the words dedicated to the Andalusian president. The man insisted several times that his entire family has “very clear” their support for Moreno and assured that he would continue to convey that recognition to his closest circle for the treatment received during these years.

One of the most emotional moments came when the citizen confessed that he would like to be able to personally hug Juanma Moreno. "I wish I could give him a hug," he repeated between tears, highlighting that the Andalusian leader "deserves" even an absolute majority "of 100%" for the attention given to families affected by this rare disease.

Epidermolysis bullosa, popularly known as butterfly skin, is a rare disease that causes extreme fragility in the skin and requires constant care. Patient associations have been demanding more research and institutional support for years, a cause in which different families claim to have found support from the Andalusian Executive chaired by Moreno.

Just a few months ago, the Junta de Andalucía announced that Andalusian healthcare would be the first in Spain to facilitate access to a pioneering therapy for the disease. Moreno personally presented the initiative alongside the young Sevillian Leo Gutiérrez and defended that this innovative treatment will allow to alleviate pain and improve the quality of life of patients, in addition to opening the door for the Sistema Nacional de Salud to end up incorporating it throughout Spain.
