The Consell does not look down on the initiative to ask for a vaccination certificate or a negative PCR to enter a bar or entertainment venue. However, it considers that this is not the time to apply such a measure. The Generalitat will not launch it until it has offered the entire population the possibility of getting vaccinated. At that time, it is an option to study, they assured yesterday from the environment of the president, Ximo Puig.
It is a question of equity, they add, something that the minister Ana Barceló also defended in Corts yesterday so that no one would feel discriminated against. At this time it is considered that this decision would generate a problem of inequality between people, since there is part of the Valencian population that has not been able to get vaccinated. 60% of the citizens have the complete guideline.
Other autonomies do contemplate such drastic initiatives to promote security in public spaces. Galicia was the first. Ask for the so-called covid passport from Saturday (accredits complete vaccination) to be able to in hotel stores in the municipalities with the highest incidence. The Canary Islands joined this line of action yesterday and extends it, in addition to the hotel industry, to sports and cultural events in closed venues.
France has exercised a kind of claim role in this policy, although its reasons were also to encourage the vaccination of the population because there is a considerable part of it that has voluntarily decided not to go through the puncture.
Puig said yesterday in an interview on Telecinco when asked about this media that the Generalitat does not want to make this effective “until we have the capacity to vaccinate all people so that there is no element of lack of equity, since the PCR it has a cost and we have not yet offered the entire population the opportunity to get vaccinated.
