• Euro Sergio Busquets, positive for Covid one week after Spain's debut in the Eurocup

  • Analysis Questions and answers about the uncertain path of Spain

  • Controversy Spain, nor a tournament without an earthquake: from the Cañizares colony to the Torbe case

Back in March, three months ago, the rectors of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), with its president

Luis Rubiales

at the head, began to probe the Government. Through the Minister of Culture and Sports,

José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes

, they put on the table the need that the players of the Spanish team called up for the Eurocup had to be vaccinated. Until now, the response from the Ministry of Health has always been the same. A constant refusal that the noise of the positive of Sergio Busquets, captain of the team, has transformed urgently into an imminent vaccination, before the Euro starts.

In the concentration of Spain there was a tremendous anger with the Government for this matter. After initiating the negotiations three months ago, the refusal of the Executive of

Pedro Sánchez

to vaccinate the expedition has been categorical. "They are vaccinating the entire Olympic delegation, which is fine, but why can't we get vaccinated? We are talking about 25 vaccines, no more," they said from the residence, where the tension has been more than evident.

This Tuesday, the proposal will be discussed in the Public Health Commission, which will address the issue on its agenda.

The Ministry of

Carolina Darias

will approve the vaccination of the group that will play the Euro from next Monday the 14th. Everyone will receive the Janssen single-dose, to get immunity before the start of the great football event.

From Health they assure that they received last Friday the letter from the Ministry of Culture and Sports, where they requested the vaccination of the national team.

"They will be vaccinated as has been done with the Olympic and Paralympic athletes," they now maintain from the agency.

It so happens that other Eurocup teams such as France, Italy or Belgium have been vaccinated for the event.
