The current mayor excludes from these tests precisely the personnel who have suffered the most risk due to the pandemic: Municipal Emergency Service, Civil Protection, Local Police, as well as workers from the Department of Health, among others.The Councilor for Health in the City of Lorca for the Popular Party, Mayte Martínez, has publicly denounced this morning that the mayor of the PSOE is discriminating against municipal employees when it comes to carrying out tests to detect the coronavirus.

We have reliable evidence that the performance of this type of testing is being restricted to certain workers, and others are being excluded, without there being any real reason to support this inequality.

The criterion imposed by the mayor of the PSOE, once again, constitutes an erroneous example, and adds to the extensive list of nonsense that is characterizing the reaction of the current government group to the health, socioeconomic and labor crisis caused by COVID -19.Mayte Martínez has indicated that we do not understand the obscurantism and the lack of transparency that is being attempted to unfold on this issue.

In fact, we have had to find out from sources outside the municipal activity that tests of this type were being carried out on some groups of municipal workers, leaving aside others, from whom this issue has been hidden.The segregation exercised in this matter by the mayor of the PSOE against municipal employees obliges us to report such malpractice.

It is incomprehensible that, for example, the current government has marginalized public workers from the city council who have been at the forefront of the fight against the coronavirus, constituting risk groups for the effort and work carried out.

This discrimination affects, for example, the entire staff of the Municipal Emergency Service, Civil Protection, officials from the areas of Health and Consumption, as well as all Local Police officers, in addition to all employees who provide their functions facing the citizen, along with other services such as the electricity service checkpoint, among others.From the PP they have stated that it is evident that the mayor of the PSOE lacks a rigorous criterion for this purpose, and stresses that they do not have a plan for the public employees themselves.

You cannot trust a city council that does not protect even its own workers, but, on the contrary, establishes distinctions and discriminations between them.We must remember that the current mayor, through a Mayor's Decree, dated last May 8, decided to impose on municipal employees the date of Monday 18 to rejoin face-to-face activity.

The main town councils of our country announced and began the proper carrying out of tests for the detection of COVID-19 among this professional group, something that the mayor of the PSOE refused to do in Lorca.

From the PP we reject this attitude of Mr Mateos, and demand that the same coverage be provided to all employees of the town hall, without distinction.

We are pleased that some public employees are benefiting from these tests, but it is obvious and common sense that the city council must guarantee the same treatment to municipal employees.
