• Covid.Polémic over a wedding without masks in the Casino between a Real Madrid youth squad and a relative of the Bulgarian royal family

To the rhythm of Van Gogh's La Oreja, standing up waving the napkins and without a single mask beyond the waiters.

The images of the wedding of Jaime Navarro, former Real Madrid youth squad, and Beatriz Ungría, a relative of the Bulgarian royal family, last Saturday at the Casino de Madrid, travel on social networks and mobile phones throughout the country.

Such is the case that

the General Directorate of Public Health has opened an investigation

to clarify the facts as it already did with the Barceló Theater party.

According to sources from the Ministry of Health to EL MUNDO, the Community of Madrid has transferred the case to the Municipal Police of the capital to "check" if the link did not comply with the health measures imposed by the Community of Madrid.

The website of the regional government specifies that the celebration of weddings and social events is allowed both indoors and outdoors at 50% capacity.

But

the use of a mask will always be mandatory

, now reinforced with the regulations approved last week for hospitality establishments, and

dancing and cocktails will be prohibited

since the consumption of food and drink must be done at the tables.

Part of that regulation is the one that was breached last Saturday at the Casino de Madrid where the only ones who wore a mask were the waiters and, as seen in the videos,

the safety distances were non-existent during the entrance of the bride

and

groom

with greetings hugs among those present.

Some present among which were, for example,

Juan Lebrón

, number 2 of the world padel, or

Elena Tablada

, former partner of David Bisbal and sister-in-law of the bride, who have shared photographs of the event through social networks.

The vice mayor, Begoña Villacís, pointed out this Monday that these images "cannot be repeated again" because there must be "a part of individual responsibility of all."

"We are dangerously immunizing ourselves with the hundreds of deaths that exist every day in Spain and from listening to it so much we are becoming insensitive to that fact," added the municipal number two.

The images have caused a great stir on social networks as the Community of Madrid was strongly restricted and immersed in the middle of the third wave of the coronavirus with an accumulated incidence of over 850 points per 100,000 inhabitants in the region and

1,096 cases in the area Cortes

, where this place is located.

A situation similar to the one that was experienced during the month of January at the Barceló Theater with a party where a group of young people also without masks danced without keeping their distance.

In that case, the Municipal Police also opened an investigation, which is still ongoing, where some of the participants in the event were identified, who could face penalties of up to 2,000 euros.

Same case in which you can find the link for this weekend at the Casino de Madrid because the situation is quite similar.

This is not the first controversy that the Casino de Madrid faces on social networks during this pandemic.

At the end of October, in the middle of the second wave, the awards for the fifth anniversary of

El Español

were held in this space

.

A ceremony that, although the attendees and the organizers affirmed that it fulfilled all the measures, forced, among others, the then Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, or the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, to apologize for their attendance.
