I'm sorry, I know nothing of GNOME or Orca - I use KDE and it's
accessibility reader (which also uses espeak).
*But as no one else has replied yet...*
This should 'probably' exist:-
/usr/share/gdm/greeter/autostart/orca-autostart.desktop

Espeak includes Spanish, and Orca uses espeak (apparently) - so it
"probably" should work in Spanish.

It 'should' - I can't test these, but they confirm it's possible and
should provide clues on how to achieve the same things in Debian:-
