MADRID. Famous reactionary, Mayor of Madrid Isabelle Diat Ayusowho refused to apply restrictions against her COVID-19 during a pandemic now opposes government energy saving measures in the EU The head of one of Spain’s richest regions said on Twitter that the measures approved by the cabinet “will lead to insecurity and discourage tourism and consumption.” The plan, which includes temperature limits for businesses, museums and public transport, as well as restrictions on street lighting, was approved after the EU agreed to reduce gas consumption by 15% during the August-May period. The government has ordered businesses to lower the temperature inside and turn off their lights at night. In summer, the temperature of the air conditioners should not fall below 27 degrees, and the heating should not exceed 19 degrees, and the shop windows will be darkened after 22:00.

“This will not apply in the Madrid region. It doesn’t get dark in Madrid,” says Ayuso.

The European Union agreement contained a wide range of exceptions, and opposition at the regional level could exacerbate problems with its implementation. The Spanish measures, published yesterday in the Government Gazette, must be implemented within seven days, after which those who violate them face heavy fines. “This will not apply in the Madrid region. Madrid doesn’t get dark. Before we close, ban, close, why not talk to citizens and administrations like adults and ask for their cooperation?” Ayuso wrote.
