Several thousand people demonstrate this afternoon in the center of Madrid to demand from the Community of Madrid

more resources for the public health system, the improvement of the working conditions of professionals

and the increase in financing, in a protest organized by twenty-six trade union and citizen organizations.

With the slogan

"for public and quality healthcare"

at the head of the march, where representatives of the Satse, CCOO, Amyts, CSIT-UP and UGT unions have been placed, those attending the demonstration carry posters with slogans such as " Ayuso resignation", "more health" or "more financing".

The march, which has the support of

Más Madrid, PSOE, Podemos and IU

, runs from 6:00 p.m. between the Neptuno square and the Seville area with the motto "For public, universal and quality Madrid healthcare" , after numerous partial mobilizations that have taken place in different parts of the region.

The protest is within the framework of the

indefinite strike announced as of next Tuesday

by the Satse, CCOO, Amyts, CSIT-UP and UGT unions to stop the new Primary Care emergency model proposed by the Executive of Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

The president of the Community of Madrid announced last Thursday at the Madrid Assembly the opening on the 27th of

eighty Primary Care emergency devices

, which will be called 24-hour Health Centers.
