Many citizens have called for a quality public health system in Olaguibel, Olarizu and Lakua in Vitoria-Gasteiz. In this sense, they have claimed that "another model is needed".

The calls for mobilizations have explained that “the workers are tired and without resources and the citizens feel unworthy.” They have therefore called for more resources and investments from public institutions, according to sources from the Executive. They have also called for the suspension of cuts and privatisations.

They have called to mobilize on 4 and 11 November, at 7 p.m., to the health centres in Olaguibel, Olarizu and Lakua. The workers at Osakidetza will go on strike on Thursday afternoon.
