  • Covid 19 Andalusia proposes to impose a curfew in Granada and extends the restrictions to Seville, Córdoba and Jaén

The autonomous communities governed by the PP will raise requests for a curfew at the meeting of the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System that will be held this Thursday at 4:00 p.m., telematically.

At that meeting the possibility of establishing additional restrictions will be discussed, without ruling out the 'curfew' put on the table by the Community of Madrid.

"I have asked the Government of Spain to declare the curfew," announced the President of Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco.

"We cannot afford to lose the battle against Covid-19. We have to continue making decisions to protect people's health and lives," he justified.

It should be remembered that the Minister of Health, Verónica Casado, had been defending that "intermediate" measures such as the curfew can have a "positive impact" in the fight against the pandemic, especially to avoid decreeing the state of alarm.

In addition, Granada could be the first Andalusian city, and Spanish, in which a night curfew is decreed to try to contain the coronavirus.

The Andalusian Government has requested the endorsement of the Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia to restrict mobility as much as possible in the Granada capital and in its metropolitan area between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.

The Governing Council has agreed this Thursday to extend the restrictions that were already in force in Granada to three other Andalusian capitals in which the evolution of the health crisis is, in the words of the Minister of the Presidency and Government spokesman, Elías Bendodo, "very worrying ".

They are Seville, Córdoba and Jaén.

The Deputy Secretary General of Social Policies of the PP, Ana Pastor, has marked the national position of the 'popular': "We demand that Minister Illa, as the health authority of our country, establish homogeneous and clear criteria, based on technical reports, to respond to the situation of the pandemic. Enough of looking the other way. "

It must be remembered that the specific term "curfew" is not contemplated in the Spanish legal system, but both the Constitution and Organic Law 4/1981, of June 1, on states of alarm, exception or siege, do contemplate the limitation or restriction of population movements.

Constitutional experts explain that the term curfew is a colloquial expression, without legal depth, used to limit the movements of the population in a certain time slot.

And the president of the Xunta de Galicia, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, is not disgusted with that, as long as it is sanitary and legal: "If we know what is meant by curfew, perhaps in some places in Spain it is a good practice, depending on the incidence. But first let's establish criteria and then adapt the measure to those criteria, "he said.

The president of the Region of Murcia, Fernando López Miras, has assured that the curfew "is a decision that must be taken at the national level, with consensus. We cannot enter into the debate of which autonomies enter the curfew and which ones not".

"It is necessary to combine common criteria based on scientists," he added.
