Mossos. They arrest two organizers of the illegal party
Live.Last minute on the coronavirus crisis
A
rave
on
New Year 's
Eve
has become the new bone of contention between ministries of the Catalan Government ,
or what is the same, between Junts per Catalunya and Esquerra Republicana.
The eviction, by the Mossos d'Esquadra, of an illegal party in an abandoned industrial warehouse in
Llinars del Vallès
(Barcelona) 40 hours after it began yesterday caused the
Interior and Health Departments to
try to pass the hot potato of the criticism received for the permissiveness shown by the Government on the first day of the year.
While the limitations imposed on restaurants, shops, sports or culture, as well as restrictions on mobility and social interaction, the party started on the night of December 31st, which was attended by hundreds of people from from several European countries, has triggered a new controversy in the management of the pandemic by the Generalitat.
As had already happened with the failed electronic financial aid system for the self-employed or with the measures applied to bars and restaurants, two ministries of different colors collide head-on again in shared decision-making.
In this case, Interior, in the hands of
Miquel Sàmper
(JxCat), and Salud, commanded by Republican
Alba Vergés
, tried to exonerate themselves yesterday for the delay in the police action, which ended with two detainees and five investigated by the alleged organization of the party, in addition to 215 attendees reported.
Sàmper explained that, due to the pandemic, the police operation had been raised not only as a matter of public order, but also a health issue.
For this reason, on Friday afternoon he personally consulted Vergés if the agents should proceed in an extraordinary way in view of the risk of letting the participants leave after having been in a shared space for several hours, without respecting the basic measures against the coronavirus.
Health sources specified that the procedure that they transferred to Interior is the one that is usually followed in other parties that violate the regulations against Covid, that is, the identification of the attendees, and that no guidelines had previously been claimed from them before the police will act.
The Vergés council argued that the participants could not be forced to confine themselves or undergo virus detection tests.
Sàmper and the oldest of the Mossos, Josep Lluís Trapero, shunned any accusation of permissiveness with the party and took refuge in the fact that vacating the ship required a highly complex operation due to the number of attendees and the characteristics of the venue and its surroundings.
This, together with the pandemic and the lack of troops due to the special New Year's Eve device and the perimeter confinement of the
Cerdanya
and
Ripollès
regions
decreed last week, did not guarantee success if it had been done on Friday, according to the higher.
In addition, Trapero argued that it needed to be done in daylight to avoid risks for both the agents and the participants in the
rave
.
The lack of understanding between the two ministries, which required an unscheduled meeting of the Executive yesterday morning, and the late police response caused the main opposition party, Ciudadanos, to announce the request for an appearance in the
Parlament
de Sàmper and Vergés to explain what happened.
