| María José Soler: "The centrality of San Esteban transfers a problem from our Region to the rest of the Community" | "Solidarity must be strengthened but we are faced with the brake of the regional government" The centralist policies of the regional government do not give truce even in the middle of a pandemic.

Yesterday, the newspaper La Verdad reported that the advance of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused patients to be referred from the areas of Murcia and the Northwest to the Santa Lucía hospital in Cartagena. In this way, the stubbornness of San Esteban in not complying with the regional law that obliges them to open the Rosell Hospital 100% means that the Santa Lucía Hospital must withstand a pressure that does not correspond to the state of Cartagena, a municipality that, According to the data provided by the Ministry of Health, it is the second least affected in the Autonomous Community with regard to the cumulative incidence of the virus per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days. Regarding this situation, the councilor of MC Cartagena, María José Soler, has denounced that "the efforts of the regional government to keep Rosell closed and not comply with the Law that requires them to fully function has ended up taking a toll on all citizens of the Autonomous Community ". "The result of not having two fully functioning hospitals in Cartagena leads us to a serious increase in hospital pressure, improvisation in measures and steps backwards, in addition to not being able to offer the rest of the Region better means to fight together against the pandemic, "Soler explained. The mayor recalled that "the solidarity of Cartagena is unquestionable; we have come to pay from the City Council for UCI beds in the first wave.

San Esteban corresponds by keeping the Rosell closed, without personnel and in the second wave, the entire Region suffers.

the closing of Rosell ". María José Soler has continued to demand from the regional government "effective policies that replace its obsession to tighten the rope on Cartagena, promoting efficiency and solidarity.

El Rosell is a hospital, not a set and, as such, it must be equipped with all its means and in operation ". "This health deficit is accompanied by more centralism, which prevents regional leaders from taking advantage of the perimeter closures to adapt the measures to each municipality.

Cartagena is the second municipality with the lowest incidence of the virus and the blank slate is applied to us.

It is logical that From various sectors, they are already crying out against this arbitrariness and demanding measures adjusted to the incidence, something that would affect the capital and that many see as the reason for not being done.

We will see if they review it in a few days, "the councilor concluded.
