A. Xanthos: To commit the Ministry of Health and the government that no employee will be fired in the NSS

Commit the Ministry of Health and the government that “not only will no NSS employee be fired, but that they will ensure – with increased diagnostic tests and high health safety standards – the immediate return of these people to work”, Andreas Xanthos demands .

The Head of the Health Department of SYRIZA states in a statement that “March 31, 2022 is expected to be a date that will ‘seal’ the NSS and will dramatically affect the lives of thousands of its employees”, as the last deadline given by the Minister of Health to over 5000 unvaccinated health workers who have been suspended for 6 months.

He notes that “if it implements its threats, the government will proceed for the first time in the post-government history of the country with mass dismissals of permanent public officials” and “this will be a development of extreme authoritarianism and social savagery, but also disproportionate to terms of public protection. Health “.

In the same context, he states that “this obsession with a far-right policy of punishment and ‘iron fist’, will worsen the working climate in the NSS, will deprive valuable and experienced staff from hospitals and other health structures, will lead people to unemployment and in poverty and will give to the ‘wounded’, by the pandemic and the government discrediting, Public Health System, the ‘gratuitous shot’ “.

He notes that SYRIZA has repeatedly stated that it considers the vaccination against covid-19 not only an act of individual protection but also an act of social solidarity towards our vulnerable fellow human beings. “We are not defending the ‘right’ to non-vaccination, but the universal social right to work and survival. Because public health cannot be protected without social cohesion and the rule of law,” he said.
