Ayuso was confused when asked about elderly deaths in nursing homes during the pandemic in ‘Herrera en COPE’

The talk show host, also a regular on TVE, surprised the popular figure with the question he least expected at the diocesan conference station that bothered him the most and was apparently friendly territory for him: Management of nursing homes during the health epidemic caused by Covid.

“If you had lost someone you loved very much in a nursing home without receiving hospital treatment, I don’t know because they would have died anyway, the question is, would it be difficult for you to turn the page from such a situation? A trans person,” the journalist said.

Ayuso responded, visibly upset and upset: “The question you asked is malicious and also poorly focused. I do not run CAM based on personal feelings, that is the worst thing you can do in politics. I govern on behalf of all citizens, I put myself in everyone’s shoes, whether it happens to me or not. Despite how little respect there is for the dead in the rest of Spain, they always talk about those in Madrid. Never in my life could I say, as I heard, who could live and who could die. And less because of purchasing power. “Only a geriatrician can determine who will live and who won’t, which is what happened.”

“The elderly could not be saved by going to hospitals. Thousands were transferred and as many or more died there. Many families told us that they would prefer their relatives to stay in residences, because when the virus enters the body of people in their 90s with multiple pathologies, most people die,” said the president of the people of Madrid.

While Carlos Herrera tried to break up the discussion, Encinas insisted on pointing out the politician: “Being treated in a hospital and dying by being drugged is not the same thing.” But Ayuso didn’t let him finish his answer: “Wrong!” After this answer, the announcer continued the interview with other questions.
