The independence exaltation over public health.

With the approval of the Government of the Generalitat, the ANC has proposed to bring together 48,000 people for the Diada divided into 107 demonstrations, which will take place simultaneously in 82 municipalities in Catalonia.

The main Catalan separtist entity thus ignores the recommendations of the health authorities, which in recent days had demanded the suspension of the demonstrations devised by the ANC for 9/11.

The Secretary of Public Health of the Generalitat,

Josep Maria Argimon

, said last Monday that "it is not appropriate to hold rallies" for the Diada, given the epidemiological situation in Catalonia, which this Wednesday has added 627 new infections and 12 deaths from Covid -19.

Before Argimon, the president of the Barcelona College of Physicians,

Jaume Padrós

, asked parties and entities to "avoid mass rallies and acts."

"We play a lot," Padrós decided, despite agreeing with the separatist theses.

«I agree completely.

The next few days are essential to try to stop the epidemic.

We have to reduce the risk of contagion as much as we can, "added

Antoni Trilla

,

the epidemiologist and head of Preventive Medicine at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona

, one of the most authoritative voices in Catalonia when it comes to analyzing the evolution of the pandemic.

"Just as irresponsible as taking the subway to work"

"It is just as irresponsible to make this demonstration as to take the subway to go to work," snapped the head of ANC mobilizations,

Sònia Urpí

, to later defend that they comply "strictly" with the sanitary measures to control the virus.

The independentista entity has ensured that it will guarantee that there will be one protester for every four square meters and that only those previously registered in a register authorized to organize the Diada protest will be able to attend the concentration.

The mask will also be, obviously, mandatory.

The ANC benefits from the rectification made by the Goven de la Generalitat, when it amended the limitation of public and private meetings ruled last August.

Approval of the Generalitat

“At this time we find that the legitimate right to demonstrate has to take into account what we are saying about the minimum social interaction.

Always moving with the same people everywhere is vital.

Either each of us becomes aware of the situation we are in or we will not be able to get out of it if we do not all do it, "said Quim Torra when asked about the convenience of holding demonstrations.

An hour later, the Department of the Presidency sent a "clarification to the media" in which it was specified that "the prohibition throughout Catalonia to hold meetings of more than ten people in public and private spaces does not affect the right to demonstrate, provided that it is exercised respecting the measures of distancing, mask and hand hygiene ».

Formations such as Citizens have already asked the Department of the Interior of the Generalitat not to authorize the demonstrations of the Diada, considering that it will become "a separatist 8-M", according to the candidate of the liberal formation to the Generalitat, Carlos Carrizosa, who predicted that the ANC concentrations are "possible sources of contagion", as was the feminist demonstration held in Madrid at the beginning of the pandemic.
