The Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, assured this Wednesday in the plenary session of Congress that the Government will

receive "openly and enthusiastically" any vaccine that is authorized by the European Medicines Agency

(EMA): "It is the only margin and the only requirement ".

Darias has thus responded to the deputy of EH-Bildu Iñaki Ruiz who has asked the minister if the Government is considering acquiring the Russian Spuntnik V vaccine or proposing to the European Commission the joint acquisition, once it is approved by the EMA.

Minister Darias, who was released this Wednesday in plenary session as head of Health, has also promised to "follow the path outlined" by Salvador Illa "with a clear objective in coordination with the autonomous communities from the co-governance, which is the fight the pandemic and advance the vaccination process. "

The Health Minister recalled that this month Spain will receive 2.3 million doses between Pfizer and Moderna, "AstraZeneca is pending and the initial delivery doses will be known shortly."

Darias has expressed all her support for the European Health Commissioner, Stella Kyriakides, in the "demand" for pharmaceutical companies to "comply with what has been signed."

Faced with these issues, the Bildu deputy has proposed to the Government to

release the patents turning them into a public good

, the temporary nationalization of European pharmaceutical companies that speculate with vaccines and breach commitments and the creation of a European pharmaceutical industry for the research of essential drugs .

Darias has also responded to a question from PP deputy José Ignacio Echániz about whether the Government "is going to persist in the negligence of its predecessor."

Ironically, the PP deputy has applauded the minister's speech that, in his opinion, will lead him to the presidency of the Canary Islands, in line with Illa's candidacy for the Generalitat.

In Echániz's opinion, the Government has used the "greatest pandemic in history" to pave the way from Illa to Catalonia.

And since Darias is going to follow the path of her predecessor, Echániz has intuited that the minister will continue "to hide the death toll, the commission of experts and the criteria for the distribution of vaccines" and has accused the new head of "accomplice" and to "water the Catalan vaccination campaign".

Despite these accusations, the minister has asked the PP not to "put sticks in the wheels" and join the battle against the virus.

For this reason, Darias has expressed his support for all the autonomous communities without exception, has valued the vaccination campaign and has reiterated to the PP his proposal to "work together in this new stage."
