SATSE criticizes the Health Department for allocating only two new nursing positions in Castellón to address mental health problems and addictions

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General4 September 2026 at 11:26

The Nursing Union, SATSE, criticized the proposal by the Valencian Health Department to create 9 specialist mental health nurse positions in the Valencian Community. Of these positions, 3 would be destined for Alicante, 2 for Castellón and 4 for Valencia. This measure is linked to the Valencian Mental Health and Additions Plan 2024-2027.

SATSE considered this proposal totally insufficient to address the high incidence of mental health problems in the population of the Valencian Community. The union understands that the number of new positions created does not respond to the real needs of the population.

The initiative is part of a multi-year plan covering the period between 2024 and 2027, but according to SATSE, the provision of specialist mental health nursing staff falls far short of what would be necessary to meet the growing demand for mental health care in the region.

The success of the far-right leader shakes Australia

Pauline Hanson, leader of the Australian far right and founder of the One Nation party, threatens to break the bipartisanship that has prevailed in Australian democracy. At 73 years old and an admirer of Donald Trump, Hanson is preparing for a major electoral leap in the federal elections scheduled for 2028, with polls giving her 30% voting intention, above the Labor Party (in government) and the Coalition (liberals and conservatives), the main traditional forces. It is the first time that a third party surpasses traditional Australian parties in opinion polls.

Only 30 days remain until the next Brazilian elections, which take place amid the greatest institutional crisis of the New Republic. The three branches of government are affected by an unprecedented crisis of confidence, especially the Supreme Federal Court. Brazilians will choose a president, governors, senators, and federal deputies in a context where electoral programs compete for (and lose) the population's attention in the face of the erosion of ethical and moral values in public institutions.
