CESM criticizes the Ombudsman for closing its complaint on the health situation in Ceuta without providing a response

The Defensor del Pueblo, led by Angel Gabilondo, has closed a formal complaint filed in August by the medical union CESM regarding the precarious healthcare situation in Ceuta. The closure was communicated to the union without providing substantive solutions or addressing the specific systemic problems raised in the grievance.

In response to the decision, the Confederación Española de Sindicatos Médicos has publicly reproached the institution. The union criticized the Ombudsman's office for dismissing the case while leaving the underlying healthcare challenges in the autonomous city unresolved and failing to offer a proper response to the concerns detailed in their initial filing.
