For Montenegro, this situation “is really regrettable. More than half of the month they are on strike.

“I tell you, Mr. Montenegro, that it is not you who provide these services. It is ‘todinga’, this ‘troop of lazy people’, as you named them, who carry them out in hospitals and health centers,” he said at a conference. the leader of Fesirmes Kadija Ovando.
