Second Court Investigates Madrid's Pandemic Nursing Home Scandal

A second court in Madrid has launched an investigation into the handling of elderly care homes during the COVID-19 pandemic under the administration of Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The investigation focuses on the actions of former high-ranking officials. Carmen, whose mother passed away in one of these residences, shared her experience: "They told me they didn't know my mother was in a wheelchair, that they thought she could walk." Alberto Reyero, former councilor for social policies, also gave a statement, stating his opposition to certain protocols. This case sheds light on the challenges faced by care homes during the pandemic and raises questions about accountability and the well-being of vulnerable residents. The investigation is ongoing.
