  • Measures.Madrid will control "to the maximum" the movements between 00:00 and 06:00: "We are not for parties"

The five autonomous communities governed by the PP await expectantly the meeting of the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System that will be held this Thursday at 4:00 p.m., electronically.

At that meeting, the Ministry of Health will present to the 17 regions a new version of the draft with the new homogeneous indicators to combat the pandemic and, in addition, the possibility of establishing additional restrictions will be discussed, without ruling out the curfew it placed on the table the Community of Madrid.

The sources of the PP baronies consulted by EL MUNDO agree unequivocally: it is up to the Government to make a move.

For Castilla y León, the Community of Madrid, the Region of Murcia and Galicia, it is Salvador Illa who has to propose the measure and approve it based on indicators that are identical and automatic for all communities, without making "custom-made suits "like the state of alarm in Madrid.

The Deputy Secretary General for 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. "

The PP wants Illa to explain this Thursday what data he manages to consider the curfew as a possibility: "How many clandestine night parties there are, how many complaints, what data ... Let him get wet and propose something, without always asking the autonomies ".

"Measures must be taken so that there is less mobility; the curfew will depend on how it is articulated, but the Ministry has to propose it," they add in Genoa.

However, the PP does not get wet on whether it would support the state of alarm that would be coupled -according to the Government- with the curfew: "We cannot pronounce on something that does not exist; neither have we asked for the state of alarm or ask for the touch We only ask that the Government propose alternative measures, nothing more. "

"Professional groups"

In the Community of Madrid, which is the one that started the discussion, they also reject the "debate" about a new state of alarm.

"We have not talked about that, but about the recommendations of professional groups", they report in the surroundings of Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

"If the Government can support it with some intermediate legal tool like the ones Carmen Calvo promised in May, perfect," they add.

The age group between 15 and 24 years is the one that currently has the highest accumulated incidence of infections in Madrid in the last 14 days: 582 per 100,000 inhabitants, well above the 409 average in the province.

"And the complaints about bottles and illegal parties have multiplied", they denounce in the regional executive.

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.

First, criteria

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 first thing we have to do, in order not to improvise, is to see what the requirements are to talk about a curfew. Is it to prevent people from being on the street? Is it to close the establishments between one hour and another? both things at the same time? Is it doing that where the incidence exceeds 500? Or 250? I would not like to join the enormous confusion that exists in this country. This is not protocolized for the whole country, "he explained.

In Murcia, as in Galicia, they have "doubts" that an autonomous community "has powers" to enact measures similar to what is understood by curfew, so they demand legislation in that regard.

The president of the region, 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 do not" .

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

"Intermediate" measures

The Junta de Castilla y León sees the curfew "with good eyes", according to sources close to Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, regional president.

The Minister of Health,

Verónica Casado

, has defended 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 Andalusia, Juanma Moreno Bonilla has announced that he will approve new measures on Friday.

Board sources say they expect Illa to propose "coordination" measures in the Territorial Council.

"It is essential that consensual measures are adopted to prevent the transmission of the virus" but remembering that "these measures have to be born from technicians, not politicians, and include all possible scenarios and indicators for an effective and coordinated response," he said. said the Andalusian Minister of Health,

Jesús Aguirre

.
