Putin's signal: British doctors are asked not to protest because of low salary

According to the head of the Conservative Party of the UK Nadhhim Zakhavi, now is "not time for strikes. " National trade unions criticized the position of the politician and asked not to cover themselves with the war of Russia against Ukraine. This winter, a wave of protests is expected in the UK, which will affect such areas as transport, health and education. In this regard, the chairman of the Conservative Party of the United Kingdom, Nadhim Zagava, stressed that now is "not time for strikes".

He said this in an interview with Sky News. According to journalists, in December about 10 thousand people are preparing to go outside in connection with recession and high cost of life. In particular, Zagavi asked the doctors not to participate in protests demanding to raise salaries so as not to give the wrong signal to Vladimir Putin. So nurses and ambulance drivers help the Kremlin in the war against Ukraine, he said.

"We need to unite and send a very clear signal to Putin that he cannot use energy as weapons," the British politician commented. He is sure that the strikes show the disconnection of the UK when it is necessary to create a single anti -Russian front. As it is specified, the Kingdom government is now considering the opportunity to involve the military to mitigate the consequences of mass strikes during the Christmas holidays.

The statements of the leader of the Conservative Party have been criticized by the British public and trade unions, writes Independent. The General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing Pet Kallen responded negatively about the words of Zakavi, in particular. "The use of the Russian war in Ukraine as an excuse for a real reduction in nurses in the UK is a new minimum for this government," she said.
