Asturias is one of the autonomous communities that is best resisting the coup of the COVID-19. It is situated between regions with fewer deaths and their number of cases has not collapsed to the health services. The panorama of the Principality has made that today several proposals are put on the table for the future. All governments are aware that, after the health crisis, the economic crisis will come. For this reason, there has been talk about how the de-escalation. At the moment there is nothing firm, but the Asturian president has raised some options. Considers Adrián Barbón what if the return to normality is done by communities, it would be necessary “suppress mobility between territories” for the risk that it could entail.
During the fifth conference of Presidents, the nursing homes. A problem that affects all regions and where Barbón has claimed “updating health protocols at the national level” to give a “stronger” response to the situation. “There is a general concern because it is one of the weakest points, the most vulnerable group,” he said after the meeting.
Another important point is the economic. The President of the Principality considers it essential to know “what will be the spending ceiling, the deficit target and the debt limit” to face reconstruction. Barbón added that the Ministry of Finance “is working on this scenario but it is very important to have it as soon as possible.”
It has also been analyzed the role of the autonomous communities in the negotiation of the so-called Moncloa Pacts. For Barbón in Spain’s response to the coronavirus, the regions must participate and he has wondered “What use are politicians if it is such a complex and exceptional moment, we are not able to put party differences aside?”
