Spanish Cabinet declares state of alarm in Madrid to slow coronavirus spread
The decision was taken by the Socialist Party-Unidas Podemos government after the regional administration of premier Isabel D?az Ayuso failed to propose new restrictions by a 12pm deadline
Madrid - 09 OCT 2020 - 09:02 EDT
The Spanish Cabinet on Friday decided to declare a state of alarm in the Madrid region for a 15-day period, in a bid to get coronavirus infections under control. It did so despite the fierce opposition of the regional government, which has been resisting the central administration’s calls in recent weeks to implement stricter measures to control the epidemic. The restrictions will be applied in the municipalities of Alcobendas, Alcorc?n, Fuenlabrada, Getafe, Legan?s, Madrid, M?stoles, Parla and Torrej?n de Ardoz.
A legal and political battle over how to contain the virus while protecting the economy has been openly playing out between the central government, headed by a center-left coalition of the Socialist Party (PSOE) and Unidas Podemos, and the Madrid regional government, run by a center-right alliance of the Popular Party (PP) and Ciudadanos (Citizens), propped up by the far-right Vox.
