The victory of Rydygier hospital
- Dział: English news
On Tuesday the 11th March, the 9days long action during what the Marshal's Office has been occupied by Komitet Obrony Szpitala Rydygiera (the Committee of Rydygier Hospital's Defence) has ended. The occupation was ended because the signing of the resolution proposed by K.O.S.
According to the resolution the Hospital will be liquidated only formally, what means its name will change but all the wards will be saved. Thanks to this "paper liquidation" all the debts of the Hospital become the Marshal's Office's debts and the Rydygier Hospital become the branch of Gromkowski Hospital. The process of transformation will last 3 years.
It turned out authorities that were consistently acting in favour of Hospital's liquidation (also by workers' dismissing) bent after 2 years long protest (dozens of demonstrations, pickets, jamming the Pomorska street, happenings, hunger strikes and finally - the occupation of Marshal's Office). Doubtless the Hospital wouldn't get through and for sure wouldn't be able to win without such permanent protest actions. It's worth to hint that all actions during the protest were co-organised by anarchists from Wrocław.
The Committee of Rydygier Hospital's Defence would like to thanks all people supporting the protest for their shown solidarity and help. Without you all this wouldn't be possible.
