Editorial: El País

• Isabel Díaz Ayuso clashed with RTVE over a documentary highlighting deaths in nursing homes during the pandemic.
• The president refused to give her version for the documentary.
• The documentary is based on material from the Madrid Assembly and the citizen commission set up after the Assembly's commission declined.
• Ayuso claims that RTVE serves the left and broadcasts documentaries 'that interest no one', despite their high viewership.
• Madrid was the region in Europe with the greatest excess mortality during the period considered.
• The figures published in the documentary are official, but Ayuso provides a lower figure, counting only confirmed COVID-19 deaths.
• The debate about the numbers is a smokescreen, according to the editorial.
• The applied protocol was discriminatory and had fatal consequences.

Conclusion: The relatives of the victims deserve justice and reparation, and Ayuso's management of the crisis in nursing homes needs rigorous scrutiny.
