The secretary general of the Union of Professionals and Workers of the General Hospital (Sinprogen) in Medellín, Camilo Toro, denounced that he has received death threats, apparently, because the guild has reported various irregularities that have occurred in the health center.
In a dialogue with the newspaper El Colombiano, the union leader reported that, since last week, he had to request protection from the authorities in Medellín, after unknown men threatened him with death, while he was mobilizing in his vehicle through Itagüí.
In an interview with Blu Radio, the union leader also indicated that this would not be the first such incident that he had been a victim of in recent weeks. According to him, although he was not directly involved, he was informed that, more than 20 days ago, people who presented themselves as contractors for the hospital were asking for personal information about him in the entity's parking lot.
“They were asking for personal information, in which I was mobilizing, license plates of my vehicle and times of entry and exit,” the Secretary General of Sinprogen told the Bogotá radio station.
In this regard, the president of Sinprogen, Edwin Bernardo Palacio, assured El Colombiano that this intimidation would be directly related to the allegations made by the union about alleged irregularities in the administration of the General Hospital in Medellín.
It should be recalled that the union has reported irregularities in the recruitment of hospital staff, such as differences in the salaries of employees performing the same functions simply because they are linked to the current administration. Among other things, they have also reported that there is a deterioration in the quality of food for both patients and their workers, as was known to the newspaper Antioquia.
Faced with the threats received by the Secretary General of Sinprogen, Blu Radio learned that the union leader is currently receiving support from the Medellín Police, while the Prosecutor's Office is already carrying out the relevant investigations to establish the identity of the men who approached Toro.
The General Hospital of Medellín, for its part, spoke out in a statement rejecting the threats of which the trade union leader has been the victim, in addition to reiterating its vocation as an entity for the right to life and peaceful coexistence.
The hospital then expressed its solidarity with the union union and its leaders, while asking the authorities to intervene in a “direct and timely manner for the protection of the rights” of its leaders and collaborators.
Here is the full statement issued by the General Hospital of Medellin:
