WORD BREACHED BY THE MINISTER ILLA
The Health Minister, Salvador Illa, is also asked if he considers that the Government has kept its word when it said in a session in the Senate that the important thing was to bring "quality material to Spain and at a good price" during the pandemic, or when he said that it was better to govern the present than to predict the past, bearing in mind that Spain is among the worst countries in the world in terms of numbers of infected or deceased by the coronavirus.
