The Partido Popular raised its tone this Sunday against the Government’s management following the migration crisis at the end of July in Ceuta. And taking advantage of Mónica García’s visit to Ceuta, its Deputy Secretary of Autonomous and Local Coordination, Elías Bendodo, has called for the resignation of the Minister of Health, whom he has pointed out as “responsible” for the “healthcare collapse” that, according to his party, the autonomous city is suffering. An “emergency” categorically denied by the minister, who has placed the complications on the street and not in the healthcare centers.

The Minister of Health, Mónica García, denied this Sunday that Ceuta is suffering a healthcare collapse following the massive arrival of migrants recorded at the end of July, although she acknowledged that there are areas “especially strained” such as Emergency, Internal Medicine, or surgical wards. In response to the PP’s request to declare a health emergency, the Minister of Health made a clear distinction between three realities that, in her opinion, should not be confused: “There is no healthcare collapse. Is there a humanitarian crisis? Yes. Is there a public health risk right now derived from the overcrowding of people? Yes.”
