The Minister of Health, Thanasis Plevris, appeared intensely angry in Parliament, characterizing as “false and slanderous that have no precedent”, the complaints of the president of POEDIN, Michalis Giannakou, that closed ICU beds are being kept to serve surnames.
“It’s an insult to all the medical staff, doctors, nurses, EKAB, all those who work to deal with the coronavirus and manage the ICU bed platform, these reports. It is a criminal act and everyone who carries it must be held accountable. However, they do not dare to say by name who are in this circuit that keeps ICUs closed “, stressed Mr. Plevris, while announcing that he has already submitted a report to the Supreme Court for criminal acts.
“I can accept the reasonable criticism whether or not we support the NSS, for the problems that exist, but to have some people say that there is a circuit to keep ICU beds for some, is unthinkable and should be criticized by all. The president of the Association of Hospital Doctors, Matina Pagoni, has already done that. “Those who say so, should go to the prosecutor, as I did, and support them”, Mr. Plevris pointed out.
To the remark of the parliamentary representative of KINAL, Michalis Katrini, that “he continues to adopt unusually high tones”, Mr. Plevris answered characteristically:
“Come to my place. Is it possible that there is a decision in the Greek territory to have ICU beds reserved? Is it possible to say that there is an opaque process in ICU beds that concerns human lives? Is it possible for someone to support this and not be angry? Yesterday I mentioned that the prosecution has the responsibility to move, but I also appealed personally to the prosecution. “And he will be called and apologized, not by the Minister of Health but by all the medical staff who fight every day and who insult.”
Responding also to the comment of the parliamentary representative of MERA25, Kleona Grigoriadis, that private ICU beds should be accelerated and offer their services free of charge, Mr. Plevris noted:
“The private clinical units are located in the platform system of EKAB. They already operate and cooperate with the public health system. We do not have communism today. “When you ask for something, you pay for it,” he said, adding: “It goes without saying that when you buy a private bed you pay for it.”
Support for Adonis Georgiadis in the prosecutor Th. Plevris’ report
It should be noted that the Minister of Development and Investment, Adonis Georgiadis, during his intervention in the bill for de-ligation, characterized as self-evident the reference of Mr. Plevris to the prosecutor of the Supreme Court for the misfortunes that have been said, as he noted.
“Controversy is one thing and misery is another. “It is completely unthinkable for any political leader to give such an order that would lead to the loss of human lives”, underlined Mr. Georgiadis.
