The senator elected for the Mayagüez-Aguadilla district, graduate Ada García Montes, questioned General José Reyes, special assistant of the National Guard (GN) the reasons why a vaccination center for professionals has not yet been announced living and working in western Puerto Rico.
“I understand that there is a reasonable process of preparation and logistics, and that is why I have been waiting for the course of the week to make my expressions, but in view of the fact that the opening of a center was announced yesterday, Wednesday 31 December of vaccination in Caguas and another in Arecibo, the obvious question is: when do they plan to open a center in the west, “said the educator.

García Montes also mentioned that General Reis told a media outlet (Cybernews Mitjana) yesterday that he was worried that health professionals from Ponce and Mayagüez were arriving at the vaccination center at the Pedrín Zorrilla stadium in San Juan. “This center is for the metropolitan area,” Reis argued. In addition, the GNPR leader was questioned by the media about the possibility of establishing various modalities for handling a call bank or dating system, but these were ruled out by the military.
With her claim today, the senator joins the expressions made by elected lawmakers Jessie Cortés Ramos, Eladio Cardona and Migdalia Gonzalez, who made a claim in defense of the people of the west. “There is a reality that the residents of our villages know and is that state government agencies do not serve the west as quickly as the rest of the country. I cite as an example the recent case of the Department of Labor (DT) and the process of attending to unemployment cases due to the pandemic.In May I publicly demanded that the same servicarro system be established that the DT organized for Sant Joan i Ponce and it took a month for it to finally established the system at the Isidoro García de Mayagüez Stadium “. The Mayagüez-Aguadilla district is made up in addition to Aguada, Añasco, Cap Roig, Formiguers, Isabela, Las Marías, Moca, Racó, San Germán and San Sebastián.
With regard to public complaints about people outside the phase of health professionals who have been vaccinated to have contacts or the so-called ‘shovels’, the senator did not want to speculate. “The Department of Health (DS) reported yesterday that they are investigating several allegations of people being vaccinated against Covid-19, despite not being part of the phase that corresponds to them. As a legislator elected by the West, the my duty is to look for top quality services. Even if I have not been sworn in, I am already in these positions. It is my duty and vocation “, concluded García Montes.
