The fine of the Provincial Police that unleashes the storm in networks: “Open the trunk” – Events

Few times the fulfillment of the rule for the coronavirus crisis and the corresponding sanction It has unleashed such an avalanche of comments and controversy as the one that has been experienced and, it still continues on social networks.

Navarra has closed its borders with the Basque Country, Aragon and La Rioja since October, a perimeter confinement It is still difficult to understand for so long, especially when throughout this period the incidence of Covid has had so many different moments.

The Foral Police maintains control devices in the mugas with those communities and sanctions when the movement between communities is not authorized, for example for work, studies or medical reasons. Fines can range from 100 and 600,000 euros, depending on the seriousness of the events.

However, the announcement of a fine this weekend to a Navarrese who was returning from Zaragoza has not left anyone indifferent and hundreds of people have positioned themselves, the majority to criticize what they consider to be an excess of zeal of the autonomous body led by the socialist Javier Remírez, vice president of the provincial government with the nationalists and Bildu’s express support.

The Foral Police posted a message on Twitter announcing the complaint to a Navarrese woman returning from Zaragoza and that he could not justify the medical appointment that he claimed had made him travel to the neighboring city. To confirm the sanction, the agents asked him to open the trunk, where to find bags with clothes bought in Zaragoza, for which they deduced that the trip had been for another unauthorized reason and he had been fined.

This message from the autonomous body to explain the sanctions that citizens have been suffering has generated criticism from many people, who consider the sanction disproportionate and, above all, the presentation of the done as a major breach, more than a year after the harsh restrictions experienced.

“You continue to denounce unjustly,” a citizen told the Foral Police, which has responded from the official account that “the courts do not think the same.”

The amount of comments, for and against, after what happened, it shows the exhaustion that people live with restrictions that many people no longer understand, such as the perimeter closure when all communities experience the pandemic in the same way or the curfew for months that forces everyone to be in his house at 23 hours.
