Adriana Lastra, spokesman for the PSOE in the Congress of Deputies, has boasted on social networks of having decided by the government’s committee of experts on the decision to prevent the Community of Madrid from going to phase 1 of the deconfinition plan. This has sparked a lot of criticism on Twitter for posing as an expert on coronavirus de-escalation.
«Madrid cannot go to Phase 1. We are protecting the health of Madrid residents. We protect Madrid“Lastra said in a message posted on his Twitter profile.

Salvador Illa, Minister of Health, has communicated this Friday to the regional Executive of Isabel Díaz Ayuso that the citizens of the region will continue to be confined to their homes with the sole relief of walks and individual sports. The Community of Madrid aspired to move to the next phase as it was one of the regions of Spain best prepared to face another outbreak of the coronavirus.
Pablo Iglesias, second vice-president of the Government and leader of Podemos, had advanced this morning that Madrid would not pass to phase 1 of the lack of confidence despite not being one of the experts of the Executive to deal with the coronavirus. «It is reasonable that Madrid and Barcelona go with slower rhythms. You don’t have to be a great expert to reach the conclusion«, Assured the podemita leader.
Finally, Iglesias’s forecast has been fulfilled and Lastra was quick to comment on this decision minutes later on his Twitter profile. The message from the socialist spokesperson in Congress has generated a lot of criticism from users.
Many remind him of other communities governed by the PSOE in which the pandemic is very widespread or the late measures implemented by the Sánchez Executive despite warnings from international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) months before decreeing the state of alarm.
So we don’t even talk about Castilla-La Mancha, right? Oh no, I forgot! That at the forefront of this management is one of yours … #ProtegemosMadrid

I wish you had started protecting her in late February or early March. Maybe we would not have been in Alarm for 2 months.
