As is customary, yesterday the Government came out to specify and clarify the de-escalation plan announced by the President. Salvador Illa has set time slots by age for the departure of adults who want to play sports and of seniors who want to walk starting this weekend. But it did not manage to clear the uncertainty that weighs on a plan that is going to be executed without previously counting on the study of serological tests.indispensable to confine the population with guarantees. Illa did not want to venture beyond May 4 because she knows that infections continue to occur and threaten to rebound in large population centers such as Madrid or Catalonia, as Fernando Simón has had to admit. The administrations closest to the citizen and with sanitary competencies already had their own plans designed, but the single command of Health has the last word. And he insists on saying it without having listened before to regional presidents and mayors. Only when his pressure has become evident, and particularly that of nationalism in Catalonia and the Basque Country, Moncloa opens his hand, perhaps prematurely. Efficient management would have reversed order: first the mass test campaign, then coordination with local powers and finally the announcement of the agreed measures.
The constant air of improvisation weakens confidence in this Government's ability to safely return citizens their freedoms. The Spanish have endured with exemplary exceptionally severe confinement; They have earned the right to be accurately and truthfully informed of a possible horizon.
