Around 1,200 people demonstrated on Sunday in Guingamp to support hospitals and the health system. The demonstrators, including around twenty elected officials wearing the tricolor scarf, gathered in front of the Roudourou football stadium.
The protesters chanted “we have won the hospital, we will fight to keep it!” At the beginning of January, around 2,000 people demonstrated in Lannion to defend the hospital's emergency department. In a press release released on Tuesday, the president of Guingamps-Paimpol agglomeration Vincent Le Meaux launched an appeal “to defend thehealth system” “The situation at Guingam hospital must quickly find lasting solutions for all of its services,” he said. “USERS are having difficulty getting treatment. In Lannion the emergency rooms were almost closed at night until June 30” and “Guingamp has its maternity hospital suspended,’ said a trade unionist.
