The Diplomat
The CSIF trade union representation in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has written an extensive letter to the Undersecretary of the Department, Celsa Nuño, in which it expresses a series of complaints in relation to the vaccination of personnel posted abroad and the fulfilment of the commitments made by the Minister, Arancha González Laya.
Among other things, the union asks for the list of the 80 countries with which González Laya assured that there is a reciprocity agreement for vaccination against COVID-19.
CSIF demands this list, because, although it does not know it, it assumes that Morocco is one of those countries with which there is reciprocity, and yet -it points out- Spanish civil servants and teachers in Spanish schools in that country report that both they and their families are not vaccinated.
The union specifies that in Casablanca there are between 10 and 15 unvaccinated teachers; in Tetouan, 15; in Tangiers, 25; in Al Hoceima, 3; in Larache, between 10 and 12; and in Nador, an undetermined number. In total, counting their families, there are about 300 people.
CSIF indicates in its letter that, on contacting the Ministry of Education, this department has referred them to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stating that this is the department that has the authority to send the vaccines.
