The Murcia Health Minister, Manuel Villegas, and other senior members of his Department have skipped the vaccination protocol to be immunized before other vulnerable groups, using their privileged position.

The information has caused a real scandal in the Region of Murcia.

To the point that Ciudadanos, partner of the PP Government, has demanded the resignation of the counselor.

As reported this Tuesday by the newspaper

La Verdad

, there are dozens of officials from the Ministry of Health and the Murcian Health Service who were vaccinated last week.

This clashes with the protocol approved by the Ministry of Health, which establishes that in this initial phase the elderly who live in residences and people who work in health centers must be vaccinated.

"In this first stage, vaccination will focus only on personnel who specifically carry out activities that require close contact with people who may be infected with SARS-CoV2," says the protocol on the vaccination of people who work in health public.

The coordinator of Citizens in Murcia and Minister of Business, Ana Martínez Vidal, has publicly denounced this Tuesday that "it is not for the directors to vaccinate yet".

And he adds that "it is very important" that they are "exemplary."

In the social network Twitter, Martínez Vidal has described the behavior of his government partner as "inadmissible" and has demanded that he "assume his responsibility and leave office."

The counselor and the immunized senior officials have been vaccinated before the Region of Murcia finished vaccinating hospital personnel.

And before the vaccination of large dependents who reside in day centers begins.

The counselor admits it

Villegas himself has acknowledged to the newspaper

La Verdad

that he has been vaccinated.

And he has justified it in that he is a doctor.

As they explain from the Ministry, "only members of the management team of the Ministry made up of health workers have been vaccinated."

The same sources have explained that the directors of the Ministry of Health, headed by the counselor, of the PP, can be vaccinated precisely because "they are an essential part of the management of the pandemic."
