Not a week has lasted the pantomime of the alleged truce declared in the Post Office at the beginning of the week.
Pedro Sánchez, who
accumulates the worst health and economic management of the pandemic in the entire continent
, went to the headquarters of the regional government to sell himself as the rescuer of the Madrilenians while decreeing a new stage of loyal cooperation with Isabel Díaz Ayuso for the benefit of all citizens.
One more farce.
The purely propagandistic condition of that staging was rudely exposed this Friday, when
Salvador Illa decided to counter-program the Madrid Deputy Minister of Health
while announcing his new plan, which expanded the restrictions in eight health zones.
The minister expressed his public disagreement with Antonio Zapatero and regretted that he had not heeded his recommendation to close the entire city.
Meanwhile, Zapatero declared that he had not received this recommendation at all, and in any case claimed the
autonomic competence
to make the pertinent decisions: “A space for collaboration cannot be a space for imposition.
We have not wanted to impose anything.
Nothing has happened from Monday to Thursday to take further action.
The spectacle in the eyes of the citizen is unspeakable.
The antecedents in Sánchez's conduct with respect to the Madrid government prevent us from attributing Illa's initiative solely to clumsiness.
Moncloa was supposed to put aside his
ideological
obsession
and
sectarian
agit-prop
in favor of the working group that was formed this week between the two administrations.
But if Illa's wheel was not planned, his speech calling to "regain control" in Madrid gives off the political stench of the well-considered argument, the one that tries to fix
the fallacious story of Sánchez's impunity and Ayuso's guilt
in the raw Madrid regrowth.
The battle, then, was never against the virus but against the Government of PP and Cs.
Otherwise it is not explained that Illa never thought of calling Catalonia or Aragon to confine when this summer they were leading the second wave of infections, not to mention the regions that currently persecute Madrid closely in the contagion rate: above of 500. It is clear that Madrid is in a worse situation, and military and police collaboration to increase the number of trackers and monitor compliance with restrictions is welcome.
But it
is an uncouth disloyalty to
reach out to one side and then publicly humiliate the one to whom you extend it.
If Illa, who is a philosopher, believes that Madrid needs a severe confinement, what he must do is persuade Zapatero, who is a doctor.
And if it does not persuade you, because today the Community of Madrid does not believe scientifically necessary to go so far at the cost of a lethal economic bolt, what you must do is apply the
state of alarm and face the consequences
, not throw the stone and hide your hand .
Less blame game and more responsibility.
