The spokesperson for the Vox Parliamentary Group in the Cortes of Castilla-La Mancha, Iván Sánchez, congratulated the more than a thousand graduates who took the MIR exam last weekend in the region. However, he also pointed out a "serious discrimination" affecting healthcare professionals in Castilla-La Mancha, as they are the only ones in Spain without recognized professional healthcare careers, a measure suspended in 2012 by the PP of María Dolores de Cospedal and which has not been reactivated by the current socialist government of Emiliano García-Page in the last ten years.
According to Sánchez, this lack of recognition and incentives has led many doctors and healthcare workers to decide to move to other regions, which aggravates the situation of public healthcare in Castilla-La Mancha, already overloaded. The Vox spokesperson has supported the demands of medical unions that warn about the scarcity of MIR positions in the region, especially in areas like primary care and emergency services, where the lack of personnel has led to contract refusals.
In addition to the problems in the healthcare sector, Sánchez has also highlighted the abandoned situation of the Civil Guard barracks in Toledo, denouncing an "express eviction" of the facilities despite the known deficiencies and security problems of the place since January 2023. The Vox spokesperson has criticized the unsafe living conditions in which the civil guards and their families have been and has called for increased personnel, improved material resources, and guaranteed decent housing for members of the Civil Guard in the region.
In a final point, Sánchez accused the socialist government of ignoring the needs of the Armed Institute and leaving it in a state of political neglect, urging the implementation of urgent measures to reverse this situation for the benefit of civil guards and their families in Castilla-La Mancha.
