WE, THE COMMUNITY OF ORIHUELA COSTA HAVE HAD ENOUGH !
FOLLOWING LOCAL DEMONSTRATIONS WHICH ARE BEING JOINED BY AN INCREASING NUMBER OF DISATISFIED RESIDENTS, THE COMMUNITY OF ORIHUELA COSTA HAVE INSTIGATED A PETITION TO DEMAND THE EMERGENCY SERVICES CENTRE BE COMPLETED NOW, NOT 2020.
3 PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED A CARDIAC ARREST IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS, ONE A 9 YEAR OLD CHILD DIED. THE POLICE ARRIVED FIRST THEN AN AMBULANCE ARRIVED 26 MINUTES FROM TORREVIEJA PLUS TWO MORE FROM ORIHUELA, NOT FULLY EQUIPED FOR SUCH AN EMERGENCY, TOO LATE TO SAVE THE CHILD.
THE MAYOR SAID AT A MEETING AFTER THE TRAGEDY, THAT THE EMERGENCY SERVICES CENTRE WILL BE COMPLETED BY JUNE 2019, BUT, THE VALENCIAN GOVERNMENT HAVE SINCE STATED THAT IT WILL NOT BE 2019 BUT 2020 BEFORE IT IS COMPLETED.
WE DEMAND THE ORIHUELA AND VALENCIAN GOVERNMENT RESPECT US, WE ARE SPANISH RESIDENTS WHO PAY OUR TAXES, AND AS SUCH SHOULD BE TREATED THE SAME AS THE CITIZENS LIVING IN ORIHUELA CITY AND ANYWHERE ELSE IN SPAIN, IT IS OUR HUMAN RIGHT!
WE ARE ALL CITIZENS OF THE COMMUNITY OF ORIHUELA COSTA!
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION DEMANDING THE EMERGENCY SERVICES CENTRE BE COMPLETED NOW !!
