CSIF increases pressure on the Government and will call civil servants to strike if the second Muface tender is void

The union’s intention is call the groups most affected by the Muface crisis to strikewhich would affect, according to the relationship prepared by the union itself, public educational centers, ministries, official organizations, government delegations and other centers of the General State Administration and the public company Correos. The statement specifies that in the coming days the CSIF union delegates will begin a campaign to inform about the reasons for this strike and promote awareness among officials regarding the situation.

The repeated calls for calm and confidence that the situation will be resolved made by the Minister of Digital Transformation and Public Service (on whom the concert tender depends), Óscar López, in recent weeks They no longer convince the CSIF unionwhich in its statement calls on the Executive “to put an end to the situation of uncertainty that Muface is experiencing, guaranteeing the continuity of the current model and quality healthcare, which they have stopped receiving.”

The union says it is receiving hundreds of complaints daily about lack of health care, which, as ABC announced this Wednesday, is documenting in order to elevate them to the Muface Guarantees Commission and ultimately report them to economic-administrative or even judicial authoritiesgiven the possibility that they could be assuming a breach of the service provision commitments of the insurers or even Muface.

Given the drift of the situation, CSIF understands that the situation can only be resolved “if the Government’s offer satisfies the insurance companies”, something that has not happened with the first offer proposed by Public Function, nor apparently with the second. of which DKV and SegurCaixa Adeslas dropped out at the first opportunitywhich are responsible for the health care of two out of every three mutual members who have voluntarily chosen private coverage.

They appeal to the president of the Government

The union suggests that the Minister of Digital Transformation and Public Service, Óscar López, is no longer a valid interlocutor to reach a solution and therefore proposes the direct involvement of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, “to give political priority to this matter.”

The renewal of the Muface concert, which expired on December 31 and which the Government has forcibly extended using the Public Sector Contracts Law until March 31, has been stuck since last October due to differences regarding the economic allocation of the same between the Government and the insurers.

The first offer of an increase in premiums per insured of 17% in two years was flatly rejected by the three insurers that have been in charge of the health care of the 1.5 million civil servants and family members with a private policy through Muface , SegurCaixa Adeslas, Asisa and DKV, which They report losses of more than 600 million euros for the previous concert. The second offer, which proposed an improvement of 33% in three years, slightly higher than the first, did not initially convince Adeslas and DKV either, while Asisa is still considering the possibility of assuming the health care of the group that opts for it alone. private coverage in Muface, a solution that does not convince the Government and is seen as risky in the health sector.

In recent days, the Ministry has intensified the contacts with insurers to try to find a wayif possible by repairing the losses already assumed by the insurers and the potential ones that could arise from the new agreement, to resolve the crisis and avoid having to go to a third tender, although the latter is a scenario that has already been begins to contemplate.
