#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #SPAIN #ANARCHISM #LIBRARY #News #Journal #Update - (en) Spain, CNT: Public health, we who love it so much... (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 On February 12, the streets of Madrid, Santiago and Burgos, were filled with

neighbors, working class, of which the health workers of any category are part -
or should be identified as such: doctors of all specialties, nurses, auxiliaries
, laboratory technicians, microbiologists, cleaners, cooks, administrative, IT,
electricians, informants, orderlies, psychologists, social workers, pharmacists,
physiotherapists, prosthetists, MIR, FIR,... ---- Planning all these years the
distorting union structure of In this sector, 99% corporate and trade union, we
have been witnessing the resounding silence with which many class unions have
reacted to the mobilizations and strikes of corporate unions, but this time, in
some cases, they launched with demands for service.

It seems that we want to be very severe with the union medical groups that, as
soon as they blink an eye, in their protest raise demands against the improvement
of the public service and unsupportive of the rest of the sanitation companies,
such as those of the SM of Navarra. It is true that this union wants to take
advantage of the situation by demanding -a few days ago- a productivity
supplement of one thousand euros per month to suspend the strike, an improvement
in bonuses for guards and tutoring, a maximum number of patients that they
control, together with the Elimination of exclusivity, without loss of pay, since
all this together accelerates privatization and worsens the public system. At CNT
we defend the incompatibility between public and private practice. The government
of Navarra has already accepted increases, a maximum of 32 patients per day in
Primary Care and 12 minutes of face-to-face consultation, with a cap of 300 care
minutes to leave space for training and research. We will see what happens at the
table with LAB, SAE, UGT, ELA and CCOO and the conditions of the medical group,
because the rest of the health groups have been requiring improvements for a long
time.

But that is not, at all, what is inspiring the mobilizations in that community of
other doctors and especially in Madrid, Galicia or Castilla y León. For this
reason, the silence of class or corporate unions in the face of long strikes that
claim dignity in the service is not understandable.

In Madrid, it is polarized against Ayuso and the policy of dismantling the Public
System to put the troubled citizens who can afford it into the arms of private
insurers. With a progressive annihilation, choosing the most profitable areas
first and since the Madrid residents were very foolish and continued to prefer
public health, they have gone on to dissolve Primary Care.

Of course, it is not only Madrid, a rich community that is at the tail end of
investment in health, governed for decades by the PP, but many others, of various
political signs. But that is not why we can ignore the suffering of the working
class in Madrid, mocked and abandoned in the face of disease or its prevention,
where health centers are opened without doctors and from which children do not
escape, since hundreds of thousands do not They have no assigned pediatrician. To
which the elderly do not escape who, after giving their efforts and their taxes
throughout their lives, were sentenced to death, without trial, denying them an
opportunity to save themselves: 7000 elderly annihilated and their leaders laugh
in the faces of the families. We always wonder what reaction we would have if
this vulnerable population were children.

Primary Care would avoid a quarter of hospitalizations, but that does not matter.

Primary Care is basic to be able to develop a comprehensive system oriented to
the health of the population, but that does not matter.

And what is interested?
- It is interesting to fulfill the plans of international organizations, to put
in the hands of funds like Black Rock everything that was public in the few
countries with articulated systems.

- It is interesting to blame another administration or another party.

Capitalism is not a viable system, which is why it has to hack and steal what we
collectively save. And it can do so because it has some allies that collaborate
with different brands in this plan: the laws and the ballot box. Both go through
political parties.

Laws: Those that started from members of the current most progressive government
in history and that they forget to repeal when they arrive at Moncloa. This is
the case of the PSOE, promoter of Law 15/97 (the one that blesses the
privatization framework) and those derived from the General Health Law 14/86. Or
the United We Can coalition, whose head of the Ministry of Social Rights and the
2030 Agenda, Ione Belarra, preceded by Pablo Iglesias, has not considered it a
priority to promote a State Law on Residences, after the genocide that occurred.

Among other things, this law is necessary so that the health care of the elderly
who live in residences is in charge of the public health system or a minimum
framework, just as they exist for education.

Polls: The problem is not only Ayuso, but those parties that do not include the
repeal of these licenses to privatize in their program and when they do, they do
not comply.

Many posters in the great demonstration of 12F said: Remember that there are
elections in May, make no mistake.

We say: Laws, ballot boxes, parties, unions of power,... Remember the trajectory
of those who ask you for your vote. If you have it in the program, you can fail
to comply, but if you don't, also.....

Government: If healthcare is not sold, repeal the privatization laws that protect
Ayuso. It is easy. This is how the Public Health System defends itself, not going
to the banner on a Sunday to campaign.
