  • Covid-19 Madrid, Galicia, Andalusia and the Basque Country will not apply the new restrictions and La Rioja postpones them despite the BOE order

The Minister of Territorial Policy, Miquel Iceta, has defended that the actions to stop the pandemic "must be adapted to the territory" and has ensured that the central government has not changed its criteria in this matter due to criticism from the autonomous communities that saw an imposition in measurements.

In an interview published in the newspaper

Deia

, the minister referred to the controversy surrounding the mandatory agreement of the Interterritorial Health Council with

restrictions on nightlife and hospitality

last Wednesday, after which the

Basque Government

has maintained the application of the

measures

to the hospitality industry

approved in the Basque Country.

The agreement was published yesterday in the BOE with the

inclusion of a clause

, which indicates that the measures can be adapted "and

contextualized to each autonomous community and territory

, according to the evolution of the epidemiological situation."

According to the interpretation that the PSE-EE made yesterday, it is a way that "allows to attend to the specificities that occur in Euskadi and to maintain the activity of the hospitality sector".

In the interview, Minister Iceta maintains that the Government has not backed down on this matter and that the idea was always

"co-governance"

.

"There is no change in criteria," he maintains.

The declaration of coordinated actions contemplates the contextualization of the measures based on the epidemiological evolution, as agreed ".

"We all already know - he adds - that the measures against covid must be modulated, adapted and contextualized to each territory according to the epidemiological evolution because it is not homogeneous throughout the country, it is not even so in each autonomous community."

The Basque Government has kept in "force" the preventive measures, approved last Monday for the Basque Country to contain the pandemic, which has allowed consumption to continue inside bars, with half the capacity.

The Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, said that the measures were mandatory from this Saturday, but the Basque Country did not apply them.

Communities such as Madrid, Andalusia, Galicia and Castilla y León have also opposed.

Next Wednesday the heads of Health of the Government and the autonomies will meet again and nothing guarantees that the discrepancies have disappeared.

The PSE-EE: "Addresses the specificities that occur in Euskadi

The PSE-EE has valued that the resolution of the Secretary of State for Health published by the BOE with the agreement of the inter-territorial authority on Wednesday to contain the pandemic "allows

addressing the specificities

that occur in Euskadi and maintaining the activity of the health sector. hostelry".

The BOE publishes the resolution that includes the agreement of the Interterritorial Health Council last Wednesday, after which the Lehendakari said that the Basque Government would continue to

"maintain its roadmap"

in the fight against the pandemic and the Basque Government spokesman , Bingen Zupiria, accused the central government of breaking "loyalty" and "all the rules".

In a note, the PSE-EE,

partner of the PNV in the Basque Government,

has affirmed afterwards that what is published in the BOE includes a "contextualization clause that allows" addressing the specificities that occur in the autonomous communities regarding different aspects related "to measures to combat covid-19.

As indicated, the resolution "preserves the coordination capacity attributed to the Government of Spain" and, at the same time, recognizes "the autonomic competences in matters such as the determination of the measures that affect the operating conditions of the hotel and restaurant industry. ".

The PSE-EE has indicated that the resolution does so when it indicates that the planned measures "for alert levels 1 to 4" can be adapted "and contextualized to each autonomous community and territory, depending on the evolution of the epidemiological situation."
