| The Secretary of Organization of the PSRM-PSOE highlights the "incompetence" of the regional government by not foreseeing the Totana outbreak, for not putting sufficient means to trace those infected from the outbreak in Las Atalayas nightclubs | The Secretary of Organization of the PSRM-PSOE, Jordi Arce, has criticized the disastrous work carried out by the prevention and early warning services of the regional government, who did not properly identify and trace all those infected with the outbreak of nightclubs in Las Atalayas, in Murcia, last week. "The regional government has not had enough means and personnel to trace and control the Las Atalayas outbreak.
It is unheard of that, with the experience gained after these months of the pandemic, the regional executive has acted in such an irresponsible way," has indicated. Jordi Arce recalled that the competences in Health are of the Regional Government, "López Miras must abandon his position of irresponsibility and of not assuming his competences.
It is urgent, for the health and safety of all the inhabitants of the Region of Murcia, to stop blaming others for what is, by right, their responsibility.
The health powers are solely the autonomous executive, and must be assumed definitively leaving behind childish attitudes like those that are manifesting in recent days.
" "The regional administration has acted late and poorly, which has led to putting hundreds of Totana's neighbors and neighboring municipalities at risk," added the Organization Secretary of the PSRM-PSOE. In this regard, he recalled that the Autonomous Community is at the tail of Spain in number of trackers, something totally irresponsible as it is a region clearly receiving tourists in this summer season. Arce has insisted that "it was totally foreseeable that the arrival of tourists in this summer season would increase the risk of imported infections.
Despite this, the regional government has acted in an irresponsible manner, not providing the necessary means and personnel to the teams in charge of tracking the infected, which are essential in the strategy to control and limit the extent of possible outbreaks that may occur throughout the regional territory, "highlighting that" with this slow and irresponsible attitude, it has not only put risk to all the inhabitants of the Region, but leads to the confinement that it has decreed in Totana, puts in check hundreds of freelancers and entrepreneurs who were beginning to recover, endangering the domestic finances of hundreds of families.
" "It is shown, once again, that this government is more concerned with bookmakers than with the health and safety of the inhabitants of the Region of Murcia," the organization secretary concluded.
