We also intend to dedicate this official mourning to the residents of the municipality who have died from causes other than COVID-19 and have not been able to be veiled and buried as usual, and their families have suffered greater sadness aggravated by circumstances.We urge the local government to keep, and invite neighbors to keep, a minute of silence every day at 12 noon in memory of the victims and in solidarity with their families while the state of alarm continues.The Popular Party of Totana urges the Municipal Government to declare official mourning in the municipality as a sign of mourning and respect for the deceased of COVID-19 and that unfortunately in Totana we have also suffered.Not only do we want this official mourning to be for the residents and deceased due to the serious affection of Covid-19, we also want to show our utmost respect for all those residents of Totana who have died from other causes, but have not been able to be veiled and buried as It is carried out regularly and their families have suffered greater sadness, aggravated by these circumstances.As of April 27, 2020, 23,190 Spaniards have died of coronavirus.A tragic figure that could be higher since different Autonomous Communities have revealed that many other people have died with symptoms compatible with those caused by the virus.Apart from the necessary filtering and updating of figures to be carried out by the single command, at the head of which is the President of the Government of Spain, these more than 23,000 Spaniards represent the highest number of deaths in our country due to a health emergency in all democracy.In addition to the tragedy of the families due to the loss of a loved one, the pain of not being able to visit them in hospitals, watch over them and give them their last "goodbye" due to the social distancing measures decreed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 .Faced with this national catastrophe, unprecedented in our recent history, the Government of Spain has refused to decree official mourning throughout the national territory as a sign of mourning and respect for these more than 23,000 deceased Spaniards.But despite this refusal, the reality is stubborn, Spain is in mourning and local governments, those closest to neighbors and families who have experienced the loss of a loved one, cannot remain on the sidelines of the pain of so many Spaniards.In addition, we also want to show support and respect for all those families, who, even though the loved one did not die by COVID-19, have lost a member of their family, and considering the established circumstances, they have not been able to Neither do they say their last goodbye as we are used to, which is causing more sadness in families than when added to the current situation, causing their spirits to drop even more.That is why this sign of respect for those who died from the COVID-19 disease is also a sign of respect for all those people in the municipality of Totana, who have died these days from other causes, but have not been able to be veiled and their farewell has been solo.We ask the mayor to comply with the CARM order that declared official mourning and urged that the flag of the Autonomous Community fly at half-staff
