• Metropolis: The secret -and pique- of the delicious chocolate palm trees from Morata de Tajuña that half of Spain eats

The mayor of

Morata de Tajuña

, Ángel Sánchez, at the head of the only Madrid municipality that is currently confined by its

coronavirus

rate

, has issued a public letter in which he regrets that the town's shops are being "attacked" and they are pointed out as the "culprits" of the

"high" incidence

.

This southeast municipality, with

just over 7,000 inhabitants

, became the only one with mobility restrictions on Monday, because last week it had 572 cases per 100,000 inhabitants;

While, according to data published this Tuesday,

its incidence has grown to 624 infections per 100,000 inhabitants

.

The mayor maintains that

"it cannot be allowed" to "charge" against businesses

and to "accuse them of promoting the spread of the virus."

Thus, it refers to the statements of recent days by many residents who believe that the arrival of tourists on weekends - attracted by its landscapes, its cycling routes and

its famous 'palmeritas de Morata'

- may have contributed to the increase. of contagions.

However, Sánchez insists that

most of the infections occur in the family and private sphere

, in meetings in which "the guard is lowered, protected by a false sense of security for being family or friends."

In this sense, he wonders "where has the feeling of unity that enveloped everyone in the worst moments of the

pandemic

remained

", and asks that these accusations cease, showing "his most resounding support" for the Moravian commercial fabric, which represents

" vital sector "for" many families "of the town

.
