Through a statement, Unitracoop pointed out that the main cause that has led to the liquidation of companies, in the hands of auditors, such as GPP Saludcoop, Esimed, Corporación Nuestra IPS, among others, has been corruption.
In addition, they point out that “The Santos and Duque governments have been silent witnesses of all the abuses and violation of the rights of 33,000 Colombians, called, by the pandemic ‘Heroes of health’, with whom the National Government has not shown any mercy”.
Finally, from the board of directors of the union, it calls on the workers of the companies immersed in the conflict generated by the liquidation of the EPS Medimás to wait for instructions on how to proceed.
