| Unidos Podemos demands the immediate reopening of the health facilities and denounces that the irresponsible attitude of the government of López Miras "is a risk to public health" | The spokeswoman in the Regional Assembly, María Marín, has demanded the immediate reopening of the La Algaida health center, whose closure implies "an inexcusable irresponsibility on the part of the López Miras government." After an attack on a worker at the facilities occurred, the response of the regional administration has been to close the facilities, leaving the population of the district without a health center in the midst of a health crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Marín has reproached the Regional Government for an attitude that "far from solving any problem, what it does is endanger public health throughout the area." Likewise, United We can have denounced the opacity with which the measure has been taken, since according to what they say from the local group of Archena, on July 24 they were guaranteed by the pediatric mayor and the coordinator of the Health Center that the facilities would continue to be open during the month of August with the services of a doctor, a nurse and an administrator. The deputy has considered that, instead of opting for closure, "in the face of a problem caused by an attack, the logical response is to increase security measures." In addition, Marín recalled that "unfortunately it is not the first time that health personnel have to experience this type of episode", and has opted to "improve security measures in health facilities, instead of using an aggression as an excuse to leave an entire population without a fundamental right such as access to public health ".
The regional spokesperson for Podemos has demanded "greater seriousness when facing a problem such as attacks on health personnel" and has assured that "the solution is not to leave a population in which they live unattended 2.600 citizens whose access to public health must be guaranteed ".
