Ziari defies strikers, neglects patients' moan
Abdelaziz Ziari
Minister of Health, Population and Hospitals’ Reform, Abdelaziz Ziari, defied on Wednesday the health practitioners, and refused to open the door of dialogue with the protesters who organised a sir in out of the headquarters’ doors.
Ziari neglected the patients’ moan, and surgical operations which exceeded 3,500 surgeries, to bend the doctors’ determination to stop striking and join the table of dialogue.
Doctors practitioners, psychologists and nurses organise a sit in out of the ministry’ s headquarters in their third day of strike, raising slogans that condemn the positions of the minister, and his attempts to incite the citizens against them, which caused, according to them, fights inside the services of emergency.
They raised slogans which read; “Sellal..Sellal our Minister has no conscience”, “We are doctors not terrorists” and “Ministry is oppressive..Ministry is a cemetery”.
Protesters launched a symbolic march at about 15 meters of the Health Ministry building. They waived banners which read “We are coming for dialogue”.
Police authorised the march, in a peaceful way to allow the protesters to express their opinion, but the Minister Ziari ordered the closure of the main entrance, calking upon the protesters to send one or two representatives.
