• Courts Isabel Díaz Ayuso asks the Hearing to suspend the closure of Madrid for its economic and health damages

  • Q & A Guide to confinement in Madrid and restrictions: measures, how long it will last and which areas it affects

"The chaos".

That is the scenario drawn this Friday by the president of the Community of Madrid,

Isabel Díaz Ayuso

, and her counselors for Justice and the Interior,

Enrique López

, and for Health,

Enrique Ruiz Escudero

, for the region with the entry into force of the new measures decreed by the Ministry of Health, which have started in ten municipalities, including the capital, at 10 pm.

The Community of Madrid will thus execute the order issued by the central government despite the fact that hours before, in the morning, it had presented an administrative contentious appeal in the

National Court

for considering the decision "null", "unfair" and "arbitrary".

Decision that, according to both councilors, will sow "anxiety" and "anxiety" among citizens with the new restrictions.

Which include, for example, the closure of the hotel business at 11pm.

Or the reduction of capacity in shops.

Or the suppression of the bar service in the bars, which woke up this Friday under rules that should change before closing.

Measures that are imposed without a minimum period of preparation.

Restrictions, also, that imply the limitation of mobility for all Madrilenians while they get up for those in the areas with the highest burden of contagion, who will now be able to move freely throughout the municipal term.

And without announcing any special action for those who arrive through

Atocha

or through the Barajas airport.

These and other examples led López and Ruiz Escudero to point out that Moncloa has carried out with this order "a subtraction of powers" from the regional government, imposing measures "less effective" and "less suitable" than those of the community itself. implanted in 45 health areas since September 21 and that will also mean the loss of "more than 8,000 million" for the Madrid economy.

These losses, according to the regional government's calculation, will occur if the closure is maintained during the next month although in the order published in the

Official Gazette of the Community of Madrid

(

BOCM

) it is stipulated that the measures are applied during the next 14 days .

In this sense, the Madrid president contributes in her appeal to the Hearing a report prepared by the

Ministry of Finance and Public Function

, which states that "the impact of these new restrictive measures for 71% of the population of the Community of Madrid [almost 4.8 million people] will cause 750 million euros to be lost for each week of delay in the economic reactivation, which entails the weekly destruction of 18,000 jobs ”.

Regardless of the economic cost, the new measures imposed in the capital mainly affect the non-essential mobility of citizens and, as explained by the Minister of Health, they are "more lax" than their predecessors since the inhabitants of municipalities with a population greater than 100,000 inhabitants can move around the municipality instead of limiting themselves to basic health areas if there were extreme levels of Covid.

In its contentious-administrative appeal, the Madrid Government maintains that the "valid adoption" of the agreement of

the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System

"requires consensus", that is, "the unanimity of all the autonomous communities, which is not stated here has produced ", so they believe that it lacks" obvious validity. "

A line that later also went through the counselor Enrique López stating that this legal action seeks to "protect the health of citizens" and avoid "anxiety" and "anxiety" that will cause the new measures approved by Health and that the Community of Madrid will comply despite the fact that it "invades" its powers.

The regional government asks the judge as a precautionary measure to suspend the Communicated Order of the Minister of Health, of September 30, 2020, “by which the Declaration of Coordinated Actions in Public Health is approved to respond to situations of special risk due to uncontrolled transmission of infections caused by SARS-Cov-2 ”until the merits of the matter are resolved.

"Autonomous competence must prevail, especially when its maintenance does not generate any risk to public health, in view, not only that constant health measures are being adopted, but that these measures are having a positive effect," he underlines the community's appeal, which has avoided asking for the very precautionary measures, which

Vox will

request

to force the Justice to rule immediately on the suspension of the measures.
