  • Pandemic.Pedro Sánchez achieves a regional closure of ranks to his state of alarm

The PP will support the state of alarm if it lasts less than two months and if "the alternative legal plan b is undertaken at once."

Pablo Casado has announced that "in order to obtain the majority support of the Cortes" they ask Sánchez for two requirements.

The first is to "limit the period of the state of alarm" to "a maximum of eight weeks."

"It should be a month, but we are going to give a margin that allows an agreement", has conceded the leader of the PP.

The second requirement is "a new framework" for pandemics, modifying the Law of extraordinary measures in matters of public health so that the autonomies can confine and restrict mobility without the need for a state of alarm.

This reform would be done "in eight weeks" at most, hence the deadline set by the PP.

At the XXIII National Congress of the Family Business, Casado has revealed that he spoke with Sánchez on Sunday morning.

"We put these questions [about the sanitary legal framework] between our cabinets, and I hope that we will have the opportunity to speak during the week," he said.

"The alarm is a constitutional exception that has to be assessed in time," Casado has judged, "and it always has to be subject to parliamentary control," not as Sánchez wants.

The president seeks a state of alarm that lasts for six months, without recurring endorsements in the Cortes.

The PP believes that it could be unconstitutional that there is no "jurisdictional control" of the state of alarm.

And that, in addition, Sánchez's proposal contravenes the postulates of the European Commission and the Venice Commission, which criticized Hungary and Poland for establishing an exceptionality without a fixed time.
