The government team of the City Council of Laudio has described the situation in which it is located as "unacceptable". "Once again at Laudio we have to deal with the deplorable consequences of policies that threaten the lives of citizens. At the moment we sit with the families who are suffering this terrible situation and their grief has become that of all citizens," said Laudio Mayor Ainize Gastaka.
For their part, SOS Aiaraldea and the Aiaraldea Strike Committee have pointed out that what happened this weekend was not a "one-off" case. "Unfortunately, this situation is not new: in January another person died at the Llodio Continuing Care Center, when there was no doctor in that area," the Strike Committee reported, referring to the case of a 42-year-old neighbor who suffered a heart attack earlier this year. Ludi Temiño, a member of SOS Aiaraldea, also said: "On many occasions we have denounced the lack of doctors in the PAC and in the mobile ICU of Llodio and Amurrio." The platform has called a repulse rally on Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Herriko Plaza de Llodio.
The LAB trade union has joined the call. "What happened in Llodio this weekend again highlights the serious long-standing problem of the Osakidetza emergency service," the note notes. "Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased, who are taken over by all the workers of Osakidetza. And that is that these workers, without a doubt, feel powerless and with a high degree of frustration at these kinds of events."
Several protests
Since January, several initiatives have been taken in Aiaraldea to denounce the shortcomings of the Continuing Care Points. In Labastida, for example, they have run out of medical reinforcements this summer, as he recalled Alea.eus. But the problem is broader. The Osakidetza Staff Commission has denounced that since June of this year there has been no medical presence in more than 100 shifts of mobile ICUs.
Aiaraldea magazine added that last week there were 24 uncovered shifts at the Continuing Care Points of Llodio and Amurrio for the months of August and September.
