SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Sep 7 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The spokesperson for the Popular Parliamentary Group and president of the Canary Islands PP, Australia Navarro, doubts the “effectiveness” of the decree law that establishes the legal regime and the measures for the control and management of COVID-19, published this Monday, as “extremely ambiguous and full of generalities.”
“And it seems that he is exclusively prepared to circumvent the authorizations of the courts of justice,” he said.
Navarro, who made these statements after a first evaluation of the rule, indicated that “in the absence of a more exhaustive analysis” it is a “hasty text, after the successive judicial setbacks, which does not offer sufficient legal guarantees to combat the pandemic with effectiveness”.
For the leader of the popular Canaries, “proof of the rush and improvisation” of the Executive, is that some of the requirements established in the legal text “could be incurring in an affection to fundamental rights and restrictions of individual freedom.”
Likewise, he regretted that the Government “imposes certain obligations and possible sanctions without arguments or scientific grounds that support and endorse said measures.”
Navarro also warned that it is a decree that in some aspects “may be invading state-level powers with provisions that go against higher-ranking standards.”
PANDEMIC LAW
In his opinion, “the governments of the autonomous communities are not the ones that have to make exceptional regulations to combat the pandemic and it is regrettable that President Torres has had to resort to this decree-law, despite the legal doubts it generates. having demanded the Sánchez government take into consideration the Pandemic Law proposed more than a year ago by the Popular Party. “
In this regard, he highlighted the full validity of the popular proposal to draft a law that protects and protects all communities with full legal and constitutional guarantees “because fundamental public rights and freedoms cannot be violated.”
In his opinion, “actions such as that carried out by the Government of the Canary Islands, highlight the legal vacuum in which Sánchez has left the autonomies after the cessation of the state of alarm and show that Spain continues to urgently need a legal framework to contain the contagions of this pandemic “.
According to Navarro, “we have been asking for it for more than a year, we have registered it twice in Congress, we have followed the recommendations of the EU and the courts and we have the endorsement of the Council of State.”
