Comment this articleHospital protest draws riot control
The halls of the Bauska hospital may remain empty if the reorganization plan goes into effect
According to police reports, the protest was unsanctioned, and resident protestors blocked two bridges (Memele and Musa), the only ways in and out of town, leaving drivers stranded for hours.
Four protestors were also detained for public intoxication, but overall the protest was peaceful.
Public outcry over police reaction is also a heated topic at the moment. Many residents consider the riot gear, automatic weapons and sticks to be an over reaction to the mild protest. Bauska police teamed up with Rigaforces to face off against the residents wielding picket signs and demanding to meet the Health Minister.
According to Arija Gaile of the Bauska Region Council, the protest was not organized, but spread by word of mouth.
