Rodríguez Uribes: “In the short term there will be no public in the stadiums”

José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes, Minister of Culture and Sports, He wanted to calm down in the face of the information in recent days that speak that there will be an audience in the last days of First and Second Division. The politician, in his visit to Castellón, was blunt and everything seems to indicate that the fans will not enter the stadiums at least until next season.

“For the moment and in the short term, there will be no public in the football or basketball stadiums. When there are guarantees and security there will be public. In the meantime, if there is no certainty and risk remains, it will not be possible. It is not a question of a sporting criterion, but a health one “, exposes the minister.

However, Rodríguez Uribes insists that we must mark distances and guarantee the safety of the fan: “When they tell us that there is no risk of having a soccer game with an audience, it will be done. This minister is happy for it to happen, but we need guarantees. “

In another act hours later, the minister qualified his words: “We will see what to do depending on how the pandemic evolvesDespite his words, the proposal of the Higher Sports Council to the Ministry of Health still stands, through which the public proposes the return on the second weekend of next May.
