State of alarm The autonomies explode against the lack of "co-governance" and demand an express legal plan for May 9
Government The end of the state of alarm will leave the final fight against the pandemic in the hands of the judges
"You have to vaccinate, you have to vaccinate and you have to vaccinate."
That should be the only slogan of the strategy against the coronavirus, according to Pablo Casado.
"It cannot be", in his opinion, that the criterion being applied by the Government is "electoral" and "vaccination is used with partisan interests."
In a health conference organized by the
Concordia y Libertad Foundation
, the president of the PP has referred to the suspension of vaccination with AstraZeneca for those under 60 years of age and has proclaimed that "vaccination campaigns cannot be interrupted", because "hope of the families and of the productive fabric is in being able to vaccinate us quickly ".
The
Interterritorial Council
of
the National Health System
, in which the central government and the autonomous communities participate, decided to paralyze
sine die
the immunization of those under 60 years of age with the AstraZeneca vaccine, a resolution that mainly affects essential groups.
But, although he is against interrupting vaccination, Casado has recognized that the PP is not the one who will have to decide on it, but the experts of the
European Medicines Agency
(EMA) and the interministerial commission.
"For that reason", the PP is going to register this Thursday the appearance of the Minister of Health "to tell us what is happening with the vaccination criteria," Casado stressed.
Only the
Community of Madrid
voted against, and the
Basque Country
and
Ceuta
abstained.
The other four autonomies governed by the PP
Galicia
,
Andalusia
,
Murcia
and
Castilla y León
- voted in favor of temporarily suspending vaccination for those under 60 years of age.
In this sense, Casado's words are closer to the theses of Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
But Casado has maintained that there is no "disparity" between the different autonomies of the PP and has affirmed that all have taken into account the same sanitary criteria and all have "stood up" against the pandemic.
On the same day, the Madrid Health Minister,
Enrique Ruiz Escudero
, agreed with Casado on the goal of vaccines at all costs, and criticized the "failure", today, of the central government's vaccination strategy.
This has been opposed by "the leadership of
Madrid
" when it comes to closing schools, adopting mobility restrictions, taking antigen tests or purchasing more FFP2 masks.
"These are measures that the Government criticized but that have ended up being adopted" in the rest of Spain, despite the "sticks in the wheels" from the Executive to Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
Ruiz Escudero has insisted that Madrid "will not stop asking for more doses."
In that sense, Casado has criticized that the "numbers" of Sánchez in the vaccination "do not add up", and it has made him ugly that "he does not paint anything" when it is necessary to face the adversities of vaccination.
"When we see that the issue is complicated because there is a laboratory with some doubts from the European Medicines Agency, the President of the Government goes to Angola without giving any explanation."
The opposition leader has once again raised his legal plan B to replace the state of alarm when it expires, on May 9.
"Only by modifying two paragraphs of the third article of the
General Health Law of 1986 did
we cover mobility limitations. Of course, an
organic law
can limit rights, or is it that the
Penal Code
is not an organic law?" emphasized.
"In 15 days it can be done if the laws are processed urgently and in a single reading. We are on time, between now and May 9, to do it," he said.
"Because if not, the CCAA will not have any legal framework" after the alarm.
Condemns the attacks on Vox
On the other hand, Casado has again shown his "absolute rejection" of the acts of violence against Vox, yesterday in
Vallecas
.
"In a democracy the weapon is the word. And any stone thrown at a democrat is suffered by the rest of us," he assured.
"It cannot be that there are parties that justify it," Casado complained, referring to United We Can.
"I ask for maximum severity in the face of these attacks," he has settled.
