"Mr President, I wish to draw attention to what is happening on account of the policy to cut public spending in some EU Member States, specifically in my own country, Spain.
In Spain, both the central government and some autonomous communities are making drastic cuts in public spending on health and education, and this is causing an extremely serious deterioration in the public health and education systems, triggering the privatisation of those services. This is unacceptable.
As an example of this, in a small local district – although not that small – called Hospitalet de Llobregat, in Catalonia, attempts are being made to close the primary healthcare centre, which has led the citizens of the town to take action; they have locked themselves inside for the past 97 days in order to prevent the closure of the Bellevitge health centre.
This is a powerful symbol: the people are taking action to defend something that belongs to them – quality public health and education services."@en1
