  • Govern.Quim Torra arroga in the decree-law full powers to confine the population in the pandemic

The State Attorney General, Dolores Delgado, has issued an internal note sent to the members of the Fiscal Career where she orders that, before informing about the judicial authorization of the measures agreed by the autonomies in front of the Covid-19, consult with a " time frame "to the State Attorney General's Office the position they will maintain in order to maintain the principle of unity of action that governs the Public Ministry. Delgado has issued this communication after the President of the Generalitat , Quim Torra, has agreed to the partial confinement of the population in various municipalities of Lleida.

In the note entitled "Account of judicial authorization of Covid-19 measures", to which EL MUNDO has had access, Delgado explains that because the return to normality has meant the "full recovery of competences in matters of health and public health "to the Autonomous Communities and local entities, it is necessary" to strengthen that coordination effort "by the Public Prosecutor to make effective the principle of unity of action in the exercise of its mission of defense of legality and of citizens' rights in the face of possible containment measures.

Furthermore, he insists that it is a question of "special importance and significance" that the aforementioned initiatives may "affect all or part of a regional or local territorial entity, or significant groups of citizens".

"The intervention of the Public Prosecutor's Office in this judicial procedure, derived precisely from its mission to protect citizens' rights, and in particular their fundamental rights, requires that at a time when sources of reactivation of contagion may occur ( and, in fact, they are being detected) in different territories, the criterion of action of the Office of the Prosecutor is formed and manifested in a particularly homogeneous and coordinated manner, guaranteeing full equality of all the people who may be affected by them, independently what is the place where they are, "stresses the State Attorney General and former Minister of Justice of the PSOE.

Specifically, Dolores Delgado orders that, in accordance with the provisions of article 25 of the Organic Statute of the Prosecutor's Office and Instruction 1/2015, on some issues in relation to the functions of coordinating prosecutors and delegated prosecutors , it is necessary a "punctual account" on the reports related to measures of confinement of the population to the State Attorney General, through the Deputy Prosecutor for the Litigation-Administrative specialty "with the essential time frame for the analysis of the legal problems that may arise, in order to establish the position of the Office of the Prosecutor in each case.
