In the morning of November 29 public hospitals’ doctors staged a protest inside the Ministry of Healthcare and hung a banner calling in the Strike Actions and Demonstrations.
Our doctors are on #strike because they demand to be caregivers not salespersons!
We stand with our militant doctors!
We defend free public healthcare!

Immediately the Government sent dozens men of Riot Police who surrounded the doctors. The class unionists responded immediately stating
“When a patient goes to the emergency room he waits ten hours, when a patient waits to be operated on he waits months, but within seconds the state sent three platoons of riot police to arrest 50 public hospital doctors…”

Under the immediate massive condemnation for the presence of the Police against the “Heroes” against the pandemic the Police Forces withdrew and allowed the doctors to exit the Ministry, who in militant spirit called the doctors and all the people to strengthen the fight against the policies that turn Healthcare into a commodity and a privilege for the few.
