The strong reaction of New Democracy was provoked by the article in the Avgi newspaper entitled “Volunteering, the volunteer ferret.”
“It’s good to see what’s behind the screen of private aid and not forget that volunteering is the epitome of neoliberalism,” Petros Katsakos said in the article, with New Democracy speaking of “targeting volunteers.”
Newspaper article:
“At a time when the NSS appears to have exceeded its limits and hospital staff are fighting an uneven battle, with no recruitment and no additional funding, some have decided to hide the dramatic situation behind the cover of volunteerism and the supposed association of the state. with the private sector.
On the one hand you have the political and media system to focus attention on the nurses who voluntarily go to Thessaloniki to offer their services to the kneeling hospitals of the city and on the other hand you have the health entrepreneurs secretly going to buy patients from AHEPA and “Papanikolaou”.
But wherever it is viewed, either in front of or behind the screen, it is not possible to hide the political responsibility of the government, which stubbornly refuses to hire permanent staff in the NSS and command the forces of the private sector.
Do not forget, however, that no matter how heroic the volunteer nurses may be, behind this maneuver the admission of the enormous shortage of personnel is shouted, for which the government itself is solely responsible, which with communication tricks tries to cover the gaps than he created himself.
Also do not forget that the hospital doctors behind the masks have a voice and complain that private Balkan doctors go to public hospitals in Thessaloniki and exclusively choose non-Covid cases. “As I considered it a joke, I told the staff on duty not to give him any patients, unless he fills the whole room,” says the director of the NSS clinic about the private sector practice that supposedly came to support them.
ND: “They hate civil society”
“The organ of the SYRIZA party, after the misery with the graves, continues on the same path. Today he targeted the volunteers who selflessly rushed to offer to their fellow men who are fighting for their lives. They hate civil society and as political hyenas “They are betting on disaster to recover politically. And they make sure to show it every day,” the ruling party said in a statement.
