Europe's second wave of COVID-19 is forcing one of its worst-hit countries, Spain, to put its capital back into lockdown

MADRID - Madrid will become the first European capital to go back into lockdown in coming days after the region’s leader reluctantly agreed on Thursday to obey a central government order to ban non-essential travel to and from the Spanish capital.

“We are victims of improvisation,” architect Jean-Pierre Moncardo complained, saying politicians had wasted time fighting each other instead of giving medics the funding they needed to fight the pandemic. That infuriated the conservative-led regional government, which is worried about the impact on livelihoods in a city famous for its bars, restaurants and bustle of tourists in normal times.

“This region is not in rebellion and will strictly comply with all the orders,” she said. “But yes, we will go to the courts ... to stand up for the rights of the Madrilenos.”The government dropped a plan to shut parks and playgrounds, though local authorities could do that later. The new curbs will apply to any municipality in Spain of at least 100,000 inhabitants with more than 500 cases per 100,000 people in the past 14 days, and with more than 10% positive cases in PCR tests and over 35% of ICU beds occupied by COVID patients.

No, our socialcommunist government wants to destroy and ruin Madrid’s economy for not voting left-wing and to hide the national government’s scandals, even when cases are going down in the Spanish capital.
