The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, were received this Friday upon their arrival at the Hospital de La Paz in Madrid with shouts of "out", boos and the noise of a saucepan by a group of about 30 people who were waiting for him outside the hospital, reported

The Chief Executive and Illa, as well as the Minister of Science and Innovation, Pedro Duque, have come to this hospital to visit the Central Unit for Clinical Research and Clinical Trials, as Moncloa had announced in the president's agenda.
During the visit they have been accompanied by the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, who has received applause from this group, although upon his arrival he has also been heard that someone called him a "liar."
The mayor has admitted that he was not formally aware of Sánchez and Illa's visit to the hospital but he decided to go because "it was important to be the first time that the Prime Minister steps on a hospital in Madrid during all these months in which health workers and Madrid residents have given the best of themselves "as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
The mayor: Without "formal proof" of the visit
"We have not had formal evidence that the President of the Government came to La Paz," confirmed the mayor, who stressed that he had decided to go "out of institutional courtesy."
"I think that understanding between institutions is important," said Martínez-Almeida.
"Some ill-thought would say that how do you take advantage of the fact that the president of Madrid is not there and that the mayor of the city is not invited to visit a hospital. We prefer not to be ill-thought and have that essential institutional coordination," he reiterated.

Martínez-Almeida stated that during the visit "it was not the time to reproach" because "it was necessary to attend to the extraordinary professionals who leave their skin to find a vaccine."
"We have shown that the City Council has loyalty to the institutions, and if the president comes to the city of Madrid even though we are not invited, we accompany him because he is the president of all."
Ayuso spokesperson: "It is an insult to the people of Madrid"
For his part, the PP spokesman in the Madrid Assembly,
Alfonso Serrano
, has criticized the visit of the Prime Minister and the Minister to this hospital after considering it "an insult to the people of Madrid" when the regional president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, is absent. , which is located in Barcelona.
In a statement, the
popular
spokesman
has ironized that Sánchez "only had to go" with the ERC spokesman, Gabriel Rufián, and the general coordinator of EH Bildu, Arnaldo Otegi, during his visit to the La Paz Hospital "to complete contempt for the people of Madrid ".
"Since the pandemic began in March, the President of the Government of Spain, who lives in Madrid, together with the Minister of Health, who also spends most of his time in Madrid, it is a shame that they have not had the opportunity, nor have they deigned to visit a hospital or a health center in the Community of Madrid ", added the spokesman.
Madrid demands explanations
In this sense, Serrano has said that "surely the PSOE would shout in the sky if the president of the Community of Madrid visited a municipality in an institutional way with a socialist mayor without her presence."
"Is the Socialist Party of the Community of Madrid going to pronounce on the matter on this occasion? Is it going to side with those who represent all the people of Madrid, or will it bow its head again before Sánchez's contempt?" He questioned.
