SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Aug 15 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, has affirmed that his Executive will approve in the coming weeks a legislative regulation that seeks to have legal coverage with different anticovid measures in case its application is necessary.
“The regional government is working on a rule that we will take to the Governing Council. We are polishing the text, clearing up some doubts and doing it together with the Ministry of Health because various aspects have to be questioned,” said statements to the media this Sunday.
In this sense, he especially emphasized that what is sought is that whenever it is necessary to make restrictions and other decisions, the Executive has legal coverage “and is not at the mercy of judicial decisions so that we have these rules once there is no state of alarm. “
Torres explained that these are measures and norms that have worked during the previous months. “We believe that it is necessary to be able to agglutinate all this in a legislative norm,” he observed.
Regarding its content, the president commented that these are measures that have been adopted on other occasions and that with the end of the state of alarm there are difficulties in adopting them. “There cannot be 17 different criteria according to the Supreme Court of one autonomous community or another – he asserted -. That is not good and I think it is not a political question, but rather of a judicial nature.”
All in all, he was convinced that with the already next goal of 70% of the population over twelve years vaccinated, mechanisms will be devised so that there is certification inside the premises and other mandatory regulations, all “so that health security is a value, which will be even for tourism “.
Regarding vaccination, Torres recalled with 70% of the Canarian population over 16 years already vaccinated, society deserves applause for wanting to be vaccinated “massively”. “And the Canarian Health Service is doing an impressive and exemplary job,” he added.
