  • Health Salvador Illa dynamites the truce with Isabel Díaz Ayuso and asks to close Madrid

On Monday, the

Government

and the

Community of Madrid

announced, in front of a forest of 24 regional and national flags that

propped up

the scene with the solemnity of an armistice, the creation of a "cooperation space" to "coordinate and plan responses against the pandemic ”.

Four days later, yesterday, the Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, called a press conference five minutes before the one that the regional Executive was going to star in to announce his new measures.

In her appearance, Illa noted her discomfort with the path chosen by Isabel Díaz Ayuso and demanded more restrictions, that is, to close Madrid.

Institutionally, the remedy has been worse than the disease: it has been shown that coordination is lacking, and that is a direct legal prerogative of the central Executive.

This is the opinion of the governments of the autonomous communities governed by PSOE and PP consulted yesterday by

EL MUNDO

.

"They smoke the pipe of peace and then go around with these disloyalty", they lament in

Murcia

.

"So what is the common working group between the Ministry and the Community of Madrid for?" They wonder.

"The Government has taken responsibility for co-governance and is letting Ayuso burn out," they add.

In

Castilla-La Mancha

, governed by the PSOE, they reproach that "in August there should have been more coordination" by the Government.

"And more country story", emphasize the sources.

In the Government of Emiliano García-Page they focus on the obviousness that, abroad, everything is Spain and there is no discrimination by areas or acronyms: «Whoever thinks that if things go worse in

Catalonia

, in

Aragon

, in

Navarra

, in

La Rioja

or in Madrid that has no consequences on the international image of Spain is wrong ", add the sources.

"In

Europe

, since August, there was talk of outbreaks in Spain, they did not distinguish by territories", they explain.

"The Community of Madrid has all the collaboration and solidarity of

Castilla y León

", point out sources from the regional executive chaired by Alfonso Fernández Mañueco.

«The virus does not understand borders or political colors.

The Madrid measures not only seek to protect the health and life of the people of Madrid, but also those of Castilla y León and the whole of Spain ”.

This community criticizes that Health has not responded to the requests to establish "an intermediate legal instrument so that we can act with greater speed and agility", and "homogeneous criteria to take restrictive measures."

Castilla-La Mancha and Aragon demand a framework that buries the competition war

It is something in which some autonomies led by the PSOE coincide.

In the Government of Aragon they recall two disagreements with Health.

The first: "We asked for legal instruments to be able to adopt measures as in the state of alarm, and the homogeneity of data."

The second is that the Aragonese president, Javier Lambán, has urged to facilitate the preparation of budgets and improve the deficit margin, "in order to provide basic services."

Still without success.

Beyond the background of the political brawl between the coalition executive and Madrid (the PP's battering ram), the truth is that this week has served to demonstrate the effort to turn the second wave of the virus into a competitive tennis match.

In any case, the PP baronies believe that, in this game, Illa has the upper hand: «Whatever happens, this is a

win-win

[win or win] for the Government, whether the situation worsens or improves , but at the cost of leaving the CCAA alone, and on top of that, tripping us ».

The consensus of the regions consulted coincides with the

Junta de Andalucía

: "The truth is that the confrontation between the Government and Madrid is surprising", "because four days ago a coordination meeting was held in an apparently good and loyal climate."

In the Community of Madrid they assure that "last Friday the minister thought the Madrid measures were very good."

«And on Tuesday we worked with them a document that they presented to us where they did not say anything about this.

Furthermore, this week there have been no changes in the evolution of our data, but the minister comes out with this, "they add.

“Suddenly, on Thursday afternoon, Illa changed her mind, based on what?

It is not known », they lament.

In Ayuso's environment they believe that this "counterprogramming" is a smokescreen to cover the crisis of the "veto" against the King in the delivery of judicial offices in Barcelona.

"They want to cover up the attacks [by Minister Garzón and Vice President Iglesias] on the King," they add.
