Citizens today publicly demanded Pedro Sánchez to "take control" of the fight against Covid-19 in Catalonia in the face of the increasingly serious and worrying situation that this community is suffering "in the face of the neglect and lack of control of an overwhelmed Govern" that he remains concerned only "with the monotheme" of independence.

The liberal spokesperson has demanded that the Government demand at first the Quim Torra Executive to establish tougher measures to contain the "exponential increase" in infections in Gerona and Barcelona. And that "take control" if the independence government "continues to prove incapable of doing so."

The Cs Standing Committee meeting today considers that "when an autonomous government is not taking the necessary measures, the Government and the Ministry of Health can compel that executive to adopt them to protect the health of citizens." The party chaired by Inés Arrimadas understands that the Govern de Quim Torrra "looks the other way and is aware of the politicians who were in prison and has just released", instead of addressing the problems of the citizens.

This rule allows the Ministry of Health to make a "declaration of coordinated actions in public health" in those situations "of urgent need, in which case the measures that are strictly necessary will be taken and it will be informed urgently of the measures adopted" , as they explain in the liberal formation.

Therefore, with the law in hand, the Ministry of Health can compel the Generalitat to adopt the necessary public health measures "to combat the outbreaks of the pandemic, they conclude in Cs.

In total the Catalan territory there are already 20 active outbreaks: 15 in Lérida, three in Tarragona, two in the Upper Pyrenees and Arán and another registered with an agri-food company in Avignon (Barcelona).

The latest outbreak to appear in Lleida has forced the isolation of 50 Mossos d'Esquadra agents. In addition, a person died last Wednesday in the ilerdense region of Segrià, an area that has been confined perimeter since Saturday.

Faced with this very serious situation, Ciudadanos denounces that we are before "a Government overwhelmed by the situation and unable to follow up on infections." On the contrary, Torra is "creating more uncertainty" and "stoking the confrontation with the rest of Spain or attacking the head of state," as Lorena Roldán, Cs candidate for the regional elections, has explained.

Faced with this "neglect, inaction and lack of control", Melisa Rodríguez has demanded for her part Quim Torra "to ask the government for help" to protect the health of the Catalans, as the Government of Aragon has done, which it has contained with much more success your sprouts.
