Spain’s Morenoite Izquierda Diario downplays pandemic as PSOE-Podemos government lifts restrictions
Two weeks after PSOE (Socialist Party)-Podemos government called to end Spain’s state of alarm, the Morenoite Workers’ Revolutionary Current (CRT) has shown itself to be utterly indifferent to the many lives that will be lost to COVID-19 as the ruling elite lifts social-distancing restrictions.

The state of alarm is the juridical mechanism allowing regional governments to impose coronavirus health measures such as lockdowns, curfews and mobility restrictions. Announcing the lifting of this measure on April 6, PSOE Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez declared: “I hope that it will not be necessary to continue the state of alarm and that the Interterritorial Health Council will continue responding … We want May 9 to be the end, full stop, of the state of alarm.”
