Parliament finalizes the Canarian ‘Covid law’ with warnings of unconstitutionality from the opposition

SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, March 2. (EUROPE PRESS) –

The Health Commission of the Parliament of the Canary Islands has approved this Wednesday, with the votes in favor of the quadripartite groups –PSOE, NC, Sí Podemos and ASG–, the rejection of CC, PP and Mixed Group and the abstention of the Non-attached deputy, Sandra Domínguez, the opinion of the bill that includes the legal regime of health alert and the measures for the control and management of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Canary Islands.

The groups that support the Government have incorporated almost a dozen transactional amendments that soften the decree law sent by the Canarian Government and the opposition has warned that the text continues to include unconstitutional aspects and others that have been outdated due to the good evolution of the pandemic .

The spokeswoman for the Mixed Group, Vidina Espino, commented that “measures are needed” to combat the pandemic because infections “do not stop rising” in the archipelago and believe that “the most worrying thing” is the high mortality rate.

Along these lines, he does not understand that the central government has chosen to “get used to” a high number of deaths on the islands before the announcement of the elimination of restrictions.

Regarding the bill, he has commented that it comes from a decree law with warnings of unconstitutionality –it is appealed in the TC by VOX– and regretted that the government groups have not wanted to correct those aspects.

In his opinion, if the Government continues with its “stubbornness” the law will be “knocked down” in court because people cannot be forced to submit to job screening, vaccination or present negative tests for Covid-19 , in other aspects.

Melodie Mendoza (ASG) has pointed out that “it was necessary” to have a stable legal framework to impose measures to control the pandemic and without them being “burdensome” for the economy, and has assessed that there have been many modifications of the Government decree law .

He has said that this law will be useful in the coming months because the pandemic is not over and he has missed an organic law at the national level because the autonomous communities have had different legal responses in the courts.

Mendoza has commented that the law helps to “clarify” all the measures and predicted that the TC “will have the last word” on the Canarian norm.

María del Río (Yes We Can) has commented that “there are no mathematical rules” to deal with the pandemic because science itself has been changing positions and is not concerned that the decree has been appealed to the TC.

It has made the opposition ugly that it has not had a more positive attitude during the development of the presentation and guaranteed that the warnings of the Consultative Council have been taken into account.

A “DISLATE” FOR THE PP

The NC spokesman, Luis Campos, recalled that the law is forced by the suspension of the state of alarm without having a legal body to deal with the pandemic and has not ignored the difficulty of “continuing to legislate” when it has not yet ended.

Campos has admitted that Canarian law can affect fundamental rights but understands that the Constitution opens the door to limitation when people’s lives “is at stake” and hopes that until the Plenary arrives, the text can be further agreed upon.

Luz Reverón (PP) has commented that almost 90% of the decree law was vitiated by unconstitutionality according to the Consultative Council and sees “a shame” that the government groups have not retouched the norm. “Let’s see what happens,” she commented.

He has said that his group has “never” opposed the taking of measures to control the virus and instead, he has missed the “active listening” of the groups that support the Executive because his group has defended, among other things , free masks for vulnerable groups or controls at ports and airports.

Reverón has criticized the “torticero use” of the Government to “skip the courts” because the decree only tries to “agglutinate” all the preceding measures and understands that this law is “anachronistic” because the measures in force “are neither sufficient nor necessary “.

Thus, he has given as an example how the text includes isolations and quarantines that have already been ruled out by the Ministry of Health. “My group is not going to support this nonsense,” she commented.

Socorro Beato (CC-PNC) has remarked that the decree law has a “very harsh” opinion from the Consultative Council warning of unconstitutionality, to the point that it is appealed to the TC and the State itself has warned of a conflict in four articles.

“DIDNESS AND DISTRUST” IN CITIZENSHIP, ACCORDING TO CC-PNC

He has commented that the alarm decree was also annulled by the TC and although his group “is not against” fighting the pandemic, he has defended legal certainty and respect for fundamental rights.

Beato has warned of the “boredom and mistrust” of citizens because they do not understand the level system, which has become “a yenka”, and has reproached the Executive groups that the law will have appropriate measures for 2020 and not for the current moment.

He has reproached the Government for “the lack of dialogue” and wondered “what reports” support the restriction of tobacco if there is a safe distance and outdoors.

Marcos Hernández (PSOE) has denied the supposed parliamentary “roll” of the quadripartite at a time of “uncertainty” due to the disparate interpretation of the courts of justice, and now, with this bill, it is hoped to achieve legal certainty.

He has pointed out that the text does not violate fundamental rights because it prioritizes the defense of public health and does not understand that the law must be withdrawn before the Consultative report.
