The head of the Investigating Court number 1 of Lleida has decided to support the request of the Prosecutor's Office and rejects the confinement that the Generalitat decreed for Lleida and seven other municipalities. This decision had to be endorsed by a court, as it happened with the confinement a week ago.

The chief prosecutor of the Lleida Provincial Court had presented a brief in which he opposed this decision as it was contrary to law, since, according to his argument, this is a decision "of state competence". The mobility restrictions, although they did not yet imply total house confinement, would affect some 200,000 people, and came into force at 00:00 hours on Monday.

The rejected measure contemplated the prohibition of any exit and entry to Lleida city, Alcarràs, Aitona, Seròs, Soses, La Granja d'Escarp, Massalcoreig, Torres de Segre and the decentralized municipal entities of Sucs and Raimat.

The chief prosecutor of the Lleida Court, Juan F. Bone, stated in a letter addressed to the Investigating Court 1, and collected by Europa Press, that "it is a state competence and is also exercised with the guarantee of the intervention of the Congress". "In any case, the President of the Generalitat, in accordance with article 5 of Organic Law 4/1981, of June 1, on the states of alarm, exception and siege, 'may request the Government to declare the status of alarm, "he alleges.
