Thetension surrounding the G reba of doctors has increased in recent hours, coinciding with the day of mobilisation expected this afternoon. A few hours after the president of the PNV EBB, Aitor Esteban, called for the resignation of the Minister of Health, Monica García, they also wanted to point the finger at the Basque Government from the medical field.

The Department of Health stresses that the Basque Governmenthas been open from the outset; that it has held meetings with professionals and that the relationship with the medical unions in the Basque Country is constant and good.

Criticism of the Ministry of Health

Doctors also question the position of the Ministry of Health. The Basque Medical Union (SME) blames the Ministry of Health for "leaving responsibility to others and blaming others for its immobility".

In this context, the mobilizations called by the trade unions in Bilbao and San Sebastián for 18:30 are expected to be very massive.

Doctors point out that the new agreement to be agreed with the Ministry "must include" issues such as "a negotiating framework of its own, with a specific system of representation and negotiation for doctors and practitioners ", and call for" a new professional classification based on university credits, specialization and level of responsibility ".

Thirdly, doctors have declared a regular working dayof 35 hours per week, and when it is exceeded, the following hours are "voluntary". In the same vein, they request that these hours be considered as "additional working hours", that they be paid above the normal maximum hour and that they be taken into account in calculating retirement, both in primary and hospital care.
