SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, May 12. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The medical union CESM Canarias has affirmed this Friday that it is “surprised and disappointed” that the president of the Government of the Canary Islands,
Ángel Víctor Torres, “do not show off” his “presumed capacity for dialogue” and meet with the collective, as he has done with others, to try to avoid an indefinite strike from May 19.
The doctors point out in a note that they have had to change their interlocutor after “having failed” the last meeting with the director of the Canary Islands Health Service, Elizabeth Hernández, who
He “angrily” left the match.
They point out, however, that it is already “too late” because the majority of doctors who have finished their specialized training “will look for their professional future outside the Canary Islands because the worst job scenarios are offered on the islands, one of the conditions that has demanded CESM Canarias to put an end to the conflict”.
Already in the last one the union proposed, without success, that the administration recognize the “enormous differences
labor” with other autonomous communities, but they refused and demanded that the strike be called off in order to continue negotiating.
“We want to make it clear to the Canaries that these demands fully involve all the inhabitants of the islands, because not being competitive by offering decent working conditions for doctors means that these professionals are forced to emigrate from the Canary Islands, so We ask you to join our
mobilizations”, they detail, also emphasizing that they defend their “unwavering commitment to health and quality healthcare”.
