'Génova' defends Ayuso in managing healthcare: "He is doing everything in his power and more"

Gamarra sees Irene Montero "stronger" and Sánchez "weaker" and criticizes that the PP does not want to reform the 'yes is yes' law

MADRID, 20 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The general secretary of the PP and spokesperson for the Popular Group in Congress, Cuca Gamarra, has defended this Monday the health management being carried out by the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, after two months of strike, and has criticized the "political use" that is being made of this matter to "wear down" the regional government.

"I think Isabel Díaz Ayuso is doing everything in her power and more," Gamarra declared in an interview on RNE, which was collected by Europa Press, when expressly asked if Ayuso can do more to call off that strike health professionals.

In addition, he stressed that when looking at the rankings of the best hospitals in the world "find those of the Community of Madrid". "Or when you compare the waiting lists between communities, you will see that the waiting lists in this Community of Madrid are much smaller than the waiting lists that exist in communities where the PSOE governs", he emphasized, adding that there are "hospitals for reference" also in Madrid to those who come patients from other autonomies because they do not have the benefit in their CCAA.

Gamarra has affirmed that the President of the Government must assume his powers and responsibilities regarding "the lack of doctors" which is the "main problem" and is demanded by all the autonomous communities, not only those of the PP, as he has stressed.

"In the end, that is failing in the responsibility of governing. And Sánchez should assume his responsibilities from the Ministry of Health", he emphasized, to insist that it is a "common" problem in all the CCAAs and the Government does not adopt "solutions". how to summon more MIR positions.

In addition, he has warned the head of the Executive that the Ministry of Health is not a "springboard to project candidates" for the elections and has demanded a minister "focused on solving the problems of Spanish health as a whole", alluding to Carolina Darias (will be a candidate in Las Palmas) or her predecessor, Salvador Illa, who was a candidate in his day in Catalonia.

When asked if she believes that doctors are doing politics as the regional president points out, Gamarra has admitted that there is a "non-generalized political use" from "certain unions" of health "for political wear".

"I think that should be left out. Using health to wear down the one who governs in a situation in which everyone is aware of the lack of doctors, not the responsibility, of President Ayuso or of any regional president, I think not is the way to find solutions", he stated.

On the other hand, Gamarra has once again demanded that Sánchez modify what is known as the 'only yes is yes' law as soon as possible, applying the same haste with which he repealed sedition to "shield" his government coalition. "It's a matter of priorities," he declared, adding that this reform should have started a long time ago.

At this point, the 'number two' of Alberto Núñez Feijóo has recalled the "outstretched hand" of the PP to fix the "lack of protection" of women "generated by the Government" and has stressed that his group already registered an initiative in December.

In addition, he has stressed that he offered the PSOE to take its proposal to the plenary this week, without having to wait for March 7 as planned. "The Government is taking time that Spanish society does not have", he criticized, to insist that the PP is "putting all kinds of facilities" but Sánchez "does not want anything with the PP, even if it is good for Spain".

However, he has indicated that now they live "the blockade within the blockade itself and the consequences are suffered by the victims, who see how nothing is done out of arrogance and cynicism." "The Minister for Equality is getting stronger every day, while the Chief Executive is getting weaker every day," said the general secretary of the PP.

Gamarra has indicated that four and a half months have passed since the entry into force of the law and "until the effect has been seen in the polls, the social alarm and the electoral cost, Sánchez has not reacted." Having said this, he has criticized that the government still continues without "apologizing" and without "assuming responsibilities."
