PSD (Social Democratic Party) leader Marcel Ciolacu on Monday called on Prime Minister Ludovic Orban and Health Minister Nelu Tataru to resign, saying the tragedy at the Piatra Neamt Hospital represents the expression of the "national failure" of the Government to manage the COVID-19 pandemic.
He added that, for eight months, doctors have been making "superhuman" efforts to save lives, and hospital managers must find "non-stop" urgent solutions to deal with the growing number of patients.
"Enough with the cynicism! Orban and Tataru - resign if you have any amount of compassion left in you for the families of those who perished in this tragedy," the PSD leader demanded.
He also asked the Prime Minister and the Minister of Health not to blame, for their "aberrations," the chief doctors from the ICUs.
"They are not to blame for your aberrant decisions. The doctors are the ones who save lives, not you. They must be helped to do their job, instead of being harassed like this," said Marcel Ciolacu.
