A-Infos (en) Italy, Trieste, GA Germinal: The mobilization for the clinics continues (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

The FVG Region, indifferent and contemptuous towards months of citizen 
mobilization, is responsible for the fact that the health company 
(Asugi) closed the clinics of San Giacomo and San Giovanni. The 
Constitution provides for the legislative competences of the State and 
the Regions for the protection of health: the Region plans and manages 
healthcare in full autonomy: this means that the choice to disinvest in 
local healthcare and to close clinics is the responsibility of the Region.
Over the last year, we have distributed endless leaflets, sent hundreds 
of letters to local newspapers, organized a large spring demonstration 
in Piazza Unità, symbolically entered the San Marco clinic and kept it 
open for two days with a demonstration , thousands of us descended from 
San Giacomo towards Piazza Unità on the occasion of the International 
Day against Violence against Women, we studied the legislation, we wrote 
a fanzine, we gave interviews to the local and national press, we 
coordinated with the other mobilizations for the clinics around Italy, 
we organized weekly flashmobs in front of the four offices, we launched 
mailbombing and collected thousands of signatures. We spoke with many 
people and all the people we met in these months of mobilization think 
that the closure of two clinics is madness.
But despite all this, the health authority has reached the final act of 
its destructive work: it has removed the name "consultancy" from the 
facades and carried out
the moving of machinery and documents and the transfer of personnel.
The regional health councilor, architect Riccardo Riccardi, declared in 
December 2023 that, with the closure of two clinics, "the hours and 
services of the new clinic structure are increased, the proximity to 
home care is increased". He is not surprised that an architect does not 
understand that clinics are local local services and not centralized 
specialist clinics.
The FVG Region and Asugi close two out of four clinics, in a city where 
the law would provide for ten. Faced with a femicide every three days, 
two centers against gender violence are closing. Although the WHO (and 
even the Pnrr) proposes local health, they dismantle local services and 
centralize the structures. Although the mental health index of 
adolescents is dangerously low and the need for sexual and emotional 
education support increases, two youth spaces are closing.
We don't know what will happen now for teenagers, parents, newborns, 
girls, women, queer people in Trieste: we would have liked more clinics, 
more inclusive clinics and instead they are taking away what little we 
had. They try to deceive us by saying that the new structures will be 
open a few more hours: but we know how to do the math and we know that 
in reality they are taking away our total hours of service, we know that 
they are not replacing those who are retiring, that they have stopped 
providing sexual education in schools.
We are right and we won't stop. We march under the buildings of power, 
we call by name those who are playing with our health and our lives.
See you on Thursday 1 February, at 3pm, under the headquarters of the 
Regional Council, where a session will be underway.
