CORFU. "I am inviting our fellow citizens to take part in the protest rally and I am present in the effort to upgrade health on our island".

"The struggle to claim the obvious in the health sector has no parties and labels," said the Corfu PASOK-KINAL MP Dimitris Biangis, before the protest rally was held this afternoon at 18:30 in the Evg. Voulgareos pedestrian precinct:
 
“The struggle for health concerns all of us, no one can take advantage of it nor does it have time limits, it is timeless, while all governments are responsible for it as, in one way or another, they did not rise to the occasion and left Corfu and its residents alone.
 
The change of the Hospital's Director is a development that, given the circumstances, is helping with the heavy atmosphere that prevails in the hospital. However, it does not in any way resolve the numerous problems that our hospital has to overcome.
 
What we must immediately claim goes far beyond single persons and their role and it has to do, on the one hand, with the deep-rooted mentality that deprived Corfu of what it needed for decades and, on the other hand, with a methodical political plan to undermine the National Health System.
 
With these thoughts, I stand by the side of all Corfiots, as an ordinary citizen who is also experiencing the complete devaluation of the long-suffering health sector in Corfu by the state.
 
I am joining the protest rally, I am inviting our fellow citizens to take part in it and I am present in the effort to upgrade health on our island.”
