This is a professional category which has been in particular demand during the last five years. Saturday April 16, 2022 in the Sunday newspaper more than 1,000 healthcare professionals signed an opinion piece calling ” without detour “ to block the far right, by voting for Emmanuel Macron in the second round of the presidential election, Sunday April 24.
This tribune, signed by “health professionals, patients, researchers, elected officials” points the finger at the extreme right’s health project, “which opposes the fundamental principles that underpin our social model”.
The program of the far right, a risk for the whole population
The signatories, actors in a sector in perpetual lack of manpower and strongly solicited by the Covid-19 crisis, cite in particular the abolition of State Medical Aid (AME), replaced “by a minimum device to take care of urgent care “. They denounce a “old idea, contrary to international conventions”who “would endanger” the population as a whole by the risk of spreading infectious diseases.
The signatories also refuse the stigmatization of their foreign colleagues. “Certainly, they would not be prohibited from exercising in the short term. But how to accept the attack that would be done to their dignity by designating them as intruders? »they ask.
Caregivers call to vote Emmanuel Macron
While these doctors represent 10% of the workforce in the health system, they also point to the permanent lack of staff that is eating away at the hospital. “We launch a solemn appeal in favor of the only vote that allows us to preserve our solidarity: that in favor of the current President of the Republic”they write. “Despite more subtle communication, the far right has not changed. She’s no more unifying or social than she was 20 years ago […]. And more than ever, it carries the seeds of the destruction of our welfare state, our public services and particularly our health system. »
