The chief of cabinet of the president of the Community of Madrid, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, has lashed out this Sunday against the relatives of the victims who died in the residences of the elderly during the Coronavirus. Rodríguez has assured that one of the testimonies issued in the program ‘Lo de Évole’ lies and has said that he wants to verify “how many times” they visited the deceased elders.
He has done it, as is frequent in the chief of Cabinet of Ayuso, through Twitter. “If these testimonies give us their name, we will see if it is true and how many times a year they visited their relatives. It is not going to be a lie [sic]”He wrote first. And then: “Well: I have already proven that the first lady who leaves in #Lodesimon did not have her mother in any residence of the Community of Madrid. They go, let’s see the rest [sic]”
Ayuso’s chief of Cabinet refers to one of the testimonies that came out in the program in which Jordi Évole interviewed the epidemiologist Fernando Simón. “The nightmare was not knowing absolutely anything (…) with the protocols of shame what the Community of Madrid did was deprive the elderly to receive that health care. It can’t be forgotten, ”said the daughter of a woman who died during the pandemic. Simon declared that Madrid’s protocols were “difficult to understand” and the responsibility “has to demand that he made the decision.”
As explained by the journalist Manuel Rico, the mother of the woman who spoke in the Évole was in a Getafe residence and died on April 12, 2020. It is one of the 109 Relatives of victims who filed a complaint with the Prosecutor’s Office.
The program driver, Jordi Évole, has also denied Miguel Ángel Rodríguez. “It seems embarrassed to be answering this tweet at this time. Hopefully one day you receive in your office the person you just slander. What you are doing is improper of someone who occupies your position. You lie ”.
Family associations ask for their resignation
Marea of residences and 7291: Truth and Justice have requested the resignation of Miguel Ángel Rodríguez after his “inadmissible” statements. Both groups, who have coordinated the presentation of a collective complaint in the Prosecutor’s Office, have expressed their “resounding condemnation” and regretted that “defame” a woman who lost her mother by saying that she did not have any relative in a Madrid residence . “This last statement from the chief of Ayuso Cabinet is completely false. The person he refers to had his mother in a Getafe residence, where he died in April 2020. Last week, he gave a statement in the Prosecutor’s Office, within the framework of the investigation proceedings open by the Public Ministry to analyze the denunciation, ”says both entities.
“It is absolutely inadmissible that a public office like Rodríguez defame in this way a person who lost his mother in such painful circumstances, accusing her of inventing that her mother lived in a residence in Madrid,” they add.
On Rodríguez’s intention to “check how many times a year they visited their relatives”, they wonder “how you plan to access some data that are strictly personal and who he is to ‘check’ such data.”
