Spain's Defence Minister Margarita Robles says bomb deal with Saudi Arabia"not linked" to contract for sale of warships. MADRID: A steady drip-feed of public officials admitting to having been vaccinated ahead of priority groups has sparked uproar on social media in Spain at a time when several regions are tightening restrictions in an effort to curb a spike in infections.
One Twitter user hoped it would at least encourage citizens to get a shot:"The reluctant citizen will see that if politicians sign up first, breaking all the rules, it must be something very good," @Juanmalucky wrote."The scoundrels who have vaccinated themselves by jumping the queue using their privileged position as public officials must of course all resign," tweeted the spokesman for the far-left Unidas Podemos party, Pablo Echenique.
Nationwide infection rates have soared since late December, pushing Spain's 14-day incidence of the virus up beyond 800 cases per 100,000 people.But the health ministry has let regional authorities set their own rules within national guidelines, creating a confusing patchwork of different measures to halt the spread of the virus.
