Serrano: “We are proud of what we did in Madrid during the pandemic” | News from Madrid

Alfonso Serrano, general secretary of the PP of Madrid, defended this Thursday the management of Isabel Díaz Ayuso during the pandemic and criticized that Spanish television broadcasts the documentary 7,291 in which the order not to transfer hospitals to the elderly with some type of disorder that were in the residences and that the community became the European region is criticized With greater mortality. “Many problems can be reviewed, but Madrid and I are proud of what Ayuso was done,” he said, during an interview before the documentary issue.

Serrano, however, has dedicated more time to criticize that TVE issues a documentary on the residences of Madrid, in which he described a Permanent attack From the president of the government, Pedro Sánchez, to Isabel Díaz Ayuso. “I’m sorry that everyone’s television puts At the service of the left And government to attack a community. They put a documentary that no one interests anyone, “he protested.” Five years later you have to do sales, but the strange thing is to focus on the residences of Madrid when the elderly died in residences from all over Spain. “

On the reason to contribute with a new figure on the deaths in the residences, Serrano accused the former social policy councilor of the Madrid community Alberto Reyero, who is attributed to the data of 7,291, “but a time has come so far that we have said so far” and we reported “political use and tower” of the left with the figures.

Serrano confirmed that Madrid was the most affected region, “this is true” due to the density of the population, airport or subway, but he mentioned Catalonia, Aragon or Extremadura to say that the mortality of over 65 years was greater in those places. “Mortality in Spain for over 65 was 47% and Madrid 40%. In Aragon, every 100 older, 90 died, “he said.

One of the data that met during the investigative commission that was interrupted by the elections was that 20% of the people who lived in the residences died in Madrid. However, according to Serrano, “we have more than 60 judicial phrases that give us the reason”. “If we talk about truth, justice or repair, who gives a reason is the Court of Justice.” His main anger, however, still and again, went against Tve for the issue of the documentary which he described as an interested party as part of the “permanent attack” in the Ayuso government, said Serrano that he chose to face the Zender Hospital in the rain to establish the link with Tve.

The program led by Xabier Fortes Issued Thursday night in the 2 tve that preceded the issuance of the documentary, was focused on what on the residence of the community of Madrid and it offered the three existing figures over deceased during the first wave of the pandemic (FROM march to to to to. July 2020), a period that including the validity of autonomic protocols that Severely Restricted the Hospitalization of Hospitalization of the elderly who lived in the 475 residences in the region. The first is 7,291 dead between March and April 2020, an official fact of the community obtained by digital Infolibra Thanks to an application based on the transparency law and this includes those killed in Madrid Residences in March and April for any reason. The second, of 7,269, is offered by the National Statistics Institute and the third is 6,937, whose source is the Imiterso (the institute of elderly and social services).

According to these figures, Madrid was the European region with greater excess mortality, according to the Committee of the European Regions. For his Pate, the Madrid community is the figure in 4,133 the number of deaths. These data include only those who died with a confirmed covid, although at that time there was a lack of testing.

During the program, Reyero’s opinion was also included, in the spotlight of the Ayuso cabinet since he resigned in order not to agree with the management of the Madrid community and the subsequent publication of a book on these facts. “I meet a protocol that says that people with deterioration or mobility problems are excluded from the derivation. These people died unworthy, “he said.

Reyero, who resigned six months later, was the director of the supervision of the residences of the Madrid community and explained in the interview that he warned that the regional government could support a crime when he saw that these protocols: “They were discriminatory due to life in a residence, with mobility problems or having a certain age,” he said. In this sense, he brought the opposite to the Ministry of Health who said that 232 residences were medicated. “Medicalized is a very steamed concept,” said who was responsible for the residences of Madrid. Although Reyero cited the airport as one of the reasons for high mortality, he focused on the political decisions adopted. “Attention has not been attracted to the elderly and is one of the reasons for this mortality”.

Another testimonies included in the Tve program was that of María Paz Villanueva, whose parents died in a residence and recalled the call in which they denied the transfer “not even to the new hospital”. Or Ambaro Furnish, also the daughter of the deceased, who denounced the institutional violence exercised by the community and by the president Ayuso, with whom he excluded the gathering “because he has inhumanized the deceased and now inhumanize their families”.

According to the Minister of Health, Mónica García, during Pandemia, Ayuso “gave priority to propaganda against the attempt to save lives” and in that process of inhumanization of the deceased recalled that in “some cases even a invidence invoice arrived in which they had died”. On the fact that almost 300 complaints were submitted, the minister insisted that one problem does not cancel the other. “Political responsibilities go for another lane.”

On the reasons to concentrate in Madrid, many of the participants, both in the documentary and in the previous debate, insisted on the fact that the famous protocols discriminate the sick for reasons of physical dependence or to have some cognitive damage.

A tve 2 program rarely raised so many expectations. The average public, which usually does not exceed 4% Thursday at that moment of the night, concentrated much of the political debate of the day in the Madrid assembly.
