We are said to have been born to see eleven, but most of us were not born in the eighteenth edition, when the Spanish flu had evaporated, and we were not prepared for the nineteenth Covid-19. In fact, the coronavirus that hit us has killed thousands of people. All our solidarity and our deepest condolences to them.

As a doctor, let me briefly outline the goals of medicine. First of all, prevention and health promotion. Then, care for the patients and cure them if possible. Finally, and it is not foolish, to avoid premature death and, when there is no other option, to offer a quiet death. We should aspire to ensure a dignified death, surrounded by those at home, without pain. Because everything that has been created has caused death. Unfortunately, in the situation we are experiencing, health services have not fulfilled their role. Many patients have died in hospitals, alone, without the dignity they were owed, far from their home and family members, isolated in a strange place. Not only that: not hearing a single word in the language that they learned within their parents. A cruel, cruel, cruel death without a doubt. More than ever, the need to provide health care in the language of patients has become apparent. Therefore, some doctors and nurses, together with international professionals, have transferred our concern to the Basque Government, to Osakidetza, to the Government of Navarra, to Osasunbidea and to the World Health Organization. A request, a letter signed by Wales, Canada and various health professionals from the Basque Country, researchers, academics and institutions. That the need to provide health services in Euskera be publicly acknowledged and that, at the same time, health personnel be reminded that the highest care is provided in the language of the patient. Also in a pandemic situation, as it is a fundamental human right.

However, the public hearings of the management have been conducted in Spanish and the protocols have not taken into account the linguistic needs of the patients. Many have been denied attention in Basque, who want to live in Basque and who have died in Spanish. The health workers, while we have offered the service in Euskera endangering our mind, and in addition, we have asked it to be in Euskera, others have disappeared. Small water technicians and managers looking overboard. Some, annoyed by the confinement, to rest in the second house. Others, if this year is not the next (after all, it does not matter) will present a new Euskera yellow cover plan, after splashing in the pool of cloudy waters, or invite us to participate in the Euskaraldia, galobustias that have been on the ground when we needed help. They will drive an automatic translator, who is unaware of patients' needs, with an emphasis on technology that silences people's intentions.

Please ask the authorities, before it is too late, to ask the health staff, the heads of service, the directors, as far as possible, to offer their services in Basque to the Euskaldunes. That's it. To take care of the sick and the lonely with humanity. However, the request has been rejected and a letter has been sent to those who have requested it, not to those who were going to receive the message.

In fact, Euskera is not profitable for the Basque Government. They know that many workers, who have committed themselves to doing their best, who have felt helpless, can get angry. After all, the objective of the PNV and the Basque Government is to win the elections and not the welfare of the people. They fear the media and it seems excessive to them to demand from the Castilian speakers sensitivity and solidarity with the Basques.

That does not mean that they will support the workers, or that they will think about it. We are exhausted, exhausted, with waiting lists drowned, days off schedule. We have known this through the media and we have also known that we are privileged. They do not care to trample over the rights and working conditions of officials in order to meet the whims of users, because it does not jeopardise power. However, it is cost-effective. However, the recognition of the rights of the sick Euskaldunes will not give them any votes. The raw truth: the attention paid to the five patients. It will be simulated, that is to say, it will be made known what we have done, that is, the health activity, but not the most important, the results. And the health outcomes have been terrible: over a thousand deaths, in the most cruel way. They have failed.

No. I'm not going to work anymore, I've already given a lot. Health care and in Basque. I'm not going to lose my health so that they win the election, pay the infrastructure, for the homeland. I command you to offer and offer health care in Basque. Knowing you won't hear me, I'll start fasting, exhausted, and I won't go to work. I'll stay home.
