The viral chaos that Catalonia suffers has clear causes and they are not those that Torra adduces. At this point, the degree of incompetence that accompanies the demagogic speech of independence is becoming dramatically clear. Submerged in an internal war, pending their divisive pre-electoral strategies rather than the search for the general welfare of the Catalans and with a president who only responds to an escape from Justice, the Generalitat has allowed an important part of the community to find itself overwhelmed by the uncontrol of contagions. The competition is yours - after claiming it pitifully throughout the state of alarm - and its priority task was to contain and prevent the transmission of the virus after de-escalation. But Torra is also failing in this.

The exponential spread of Covid-19 in autonomy led Sunday to the Generalitat - which still blames Madrid for the outbreaks - to decide to lock them up at the homes of the inhabitants of Lérida and other regions except to attend work or go to the purchase. Such a restriction of rights is unusual outside the state of alarm. After his lethal unpredictability, Sánchez had no choice but to decree severe confinement. Similarly, Torra seeks to discharge the responsibility on citizens to try to alleviate their poor management. But the Justice reversed the decision of the confinement decreed in Catalonia for lacking legal coverage . And now Torra, in his recalcitrant line of disobedience, announces that he will disrespect the courts and maintain the restriction of a right as fundamental as mobility. All because for weeks the Govern -and specifically its Minister of Health, Alba Vergés- refused to attend to the signs that warned of the increase in infections; in Lérida, the region hardest hit, they were shooting exponentially. In late June, cases increased 50%. But despite such evidence, Vergés - who is still in office - did nothing.

It should be remembered that Sánchez agreed weeks ago with Cs the extensions of the alarm on condition of committing himself to seek legislative alternatives so as not to restrict again basic freedoms before the possibility of outbreaks . For this reason, on May 13, Vice President Calvo announced that they would strengthen the role of the autonomies: they would modify the legal framework so that they would have more tools to combat outbreaks using ordinary legislation and without paralyzing the economy again, as they had been demanding. also the PP. Two months later, the Government's words are revealed as the umpteenth deception and this "urgent" reform is conspicuous by its absence. Meanwhile, inefficiency is paid by citizens, who fearfully watch outbreaks multiply and the rate of contagion begin to approach the initial stage of the greatest health and economic crisis in recent history.
