(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 09 - The first night after the end of the emergency state proclaimed in Spain at midnight yesterday was experienced in many Spanish cities as a big party, a New Year in early May with bottles and toasts in the main squares, without any respect for security measures. And this despite the fact that the data on Covid infections are still worrying. El Pais writes it.


    Although the incidence in Spain started to decline this week, the trend is still very weak after another two weeks of stagnation. Friday, the last day with official data, there were an average of 198 cases per 100,000 inhabitants across the country, which according to the traffic light of the Ministry of Health, represent a "high risk".


    But in the early hours without the alarm, these figures were not remembered on the streets. In Madrid people took to the streets to celebrate at the Puerta del Sol and the police made 450 interventions, in Barcelona 6,500 people were missing.


   Sixteen arrests in Palma de Mallorca and four police officers were injured in the scuffles following the unauthorized protest against the curfew. There have been no noteworthy incidents in Madrid or Seville, but many images that testify to the lack of control and the expected distance from the measures against the virus. "Freedom does not consist in breaking the rules", said the union of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida this Sunday, what we have seen are deplorable scenes ". (ANSA).
