Politics: Pedro Sánchez delegates control of the coronavirus pandemic to a weightless minister
"My recognition and thanks to
Salvador Illa
, for his courage and tireless work in the face of
Covid
and for his dialogue and serene spirit. They are 'caulidades' that make him 'idone' to lead the change that Catalonia needs. A big hug.
F. Grande-Marlaska
".
So read the message published on the official Twitter account of the Ministry of the Interior when Salvador Illa's march to the head of the Ministry of Health became official to become an official candidate for the Catalan elections.
A message that has already been deleted by the Twitter of the
Ministry of the Interior
after the criticism launched against
Fernando Grande-Marlaska
for using the official account to campaign for the former minister.
There were many ministers who this Tuesday afternoon congratulated Illa and showed her their support.
However, the difference with
Grande-Marlaska's
tweet
was that they all made them from their personal accounts, while the Minister of the Interior, who does not have a personal
Twitter account
, used the official account of the
Ministry of the Interior
not only to praise the work of the former minister but also to ensure that he is "the ideal candidate" to lead the change that Catalonia needs.
Criticism from all fields was swift, not only for the use of the official account of the Ministry for a personal message, but also for the striking
misspellings
of the same, which forced the minister to withdraw the tweet a few hours later of its publication.
"idone" instead of "suitable" or "caulidades" and instead of "qualities" served to add more controversy to the tweet.
For example, the president of the PP Castellón,
Miguel Barrachina
, denounced that the "official account of the Ministry is not the place to dedicate a few words to
Salvador Illa
", and was very critical of this use by
Grande-Marlaska
: "Instead of being aware of the virus that is skewing lives and ruining families, the government is thinking about propaganda and electoral campaigns. I feel ashamed ".
Or from the
Popular Party's
own account
: "Marlaska sends a message to the minister on the run. The campaign has started for the PSOE and does so from an institutional account, with spelling mistakes and the worst day since the first wave with 591 deaths .
This is the level of scruples and decency to pay the Spaniards
. "
Also
Macarena Olona
, a Vox deputy in Congress, who describes
Grande-Marlaska
as a "coward" for not having her own account on the Social Network: "Unworthy Marlaska, open a personal account and feel the love of the people. Coward."
Even
Jupol
, the Police Union, which was also very critical of the minister's use of the Ministry's account: "If the Minister of the Interior Fernando Grande Marlaska wants to use #Twitter in a personal way, let him open an account, but stop using @interiorgob, that of EVERYONE, to launch your messages, in this case also politically charged, since the Minister who leaves is a candidate ... ".
Toni Cantó
, regional coordinator of Citizens in Valencia, who described the minister's message as "shameful".
"The Government prostituting State institutions," he said.
Like these innumerable messages criticizing the minister, which not only led to the tweet being withdrawn but shortly after the
Ministry of the Interior
published a new message apologizing for the use of the official account of the department for the minister's personal messages: " The profiles on social networks of the Ministry of the Interior always seek to be a public service to citizens. We apologize for the previous message, which should never have been picked up by an official profile, due to a material error that we deeply regret. "
