, pointed to the "important rapprochement" of positions at Tuesday's meeting, which only seemed pending the approval of the workers, the majority union has decided to continue with the indefinite strike in the Primary Care.

There are already four days of unemployment, consecutive to the conflict in the extra-hospital emergencies, which ended last week.

This time there have been two hours of meeting, added to half past five on Tuesday, which began with "the majority feeling" on the table to continue with the protest by the doctors.

"We left with the sensation of groundhog day," Hernández has sentenced.

"We have tried to bring positions closer to each other, we have raised the point where we were with those affected, it has been very difficult for them to say 'enough is enough', but now they have said it."

Ayuso is not breathing yet, with a pact six months after the appointment with the polls, where he seeks a very committed absolute majority if the health shock was prolonged.

He stressed: "What is at stake here is being able to practice medicine in a dignified manner."

For this reason, today they have explained the two failed issues during the negotiation: the limit of patients, which the doctors set between 21 and 31, but, above all, the agreement with which the strike was stopped in September 2020. closed with some commitments that have been broken and we want them to be fulfilled.

They ask for more budget with the aim of making working conditions more attractive and "not for money", as they denounce that they have been insinuated during the meeting.

"More health centers would be needed. There are 200 pediatricians missing and there were already 150 missing. In the case of family doctors, before the pandemic there were 800 missing and now we estimate 1,250," he concluded.
