MADRID — The Spanish government is turning up pressure on opposition parties to approve another extension of the country’s state of emergency. The government says a failure to do so could “bring chaos.”
Ábalos says that without it all the sacrifices made so far will have been “pointless.”
There is that, I suppose.
Realistic talk…at least imho. Unfortunately, chaos here should be hard as ‘more cases, more deaths, a return to strict social distancing and another blow to economic recovery’. I’m not familiar with Spain’s situation…other than the numbers of cases, dead and so forth…but I wonder how well received will this be to opposition parties.
Spain’s situation was dire…at one point the worst in Europe. If you look at what strict social limitations did for them, how much it reduced infection and death, it’s near ridiculous to argue against the method.
I wonder, have any of the independence movements or radicalists in Spain decided that their political disagreements are justification to ignore reason and declare they just need to open everything back up and accept the deaths?
Or is this brand of batshit crazy just our domestic flavor?
