"Information and transparency in times of the coronavirus" (16/05/2020)

| "The virus' greatest allies are hoaxes, social irresponsibility and anxiety," says Juan José Cánovas | It is normal that before any incident, we want to know the whole truth.

Those responsible must report truthfully but contrasting data so as not to lead to confusion.That's one of the reasons it may seem like it takes time to report.

And it is that the news or news sequences have a rhythm that sometimes is not what we would like.For example, if groups with suspicions of being positive have been tested, we have waited (sometimes days) to have the data.

Like almost all the cases, they have given negative, we did not have why to enter lucubrations or free concerns to the population.From the first moment of this crisis I promised to give all the information regarding Totana and I believe that it has been carried out without hiding anything or exaggerating situations that are already serious.

There will be mistakes, as human we are, but our intention has always been to report with transparency at the right times.When the news was not bad, there was always someone who told me "you should not say that things are going well, because next week hundreds will be infected ...".

Now, if there is an incident or risk of regrowth, "Report without giving names and surnames, gives rise to hoaxes ..." Everything very complicated, like life or politics.Some information considerations:FROM THE FIRST MOMENT, TO AVOID CONFUSIONS, THE MAYOR ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE NEWS THAT WERE GIVEN.DESPITE THAT, SOME PEOPLE HAVE CALLED NEWSPAPERS TO GIVE INFORMATION "ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL OR THE COUNCILOR ON OFFICE ..." CREATING CONFUSION OR DAMING PEOPLE AND GROUPS.THE MAYOR HAS NOT CALLED ANYONE.

I UNDERSTAND ITS JOB AND INFORMING FUNCTION, BUT SOMETIMES I FEEL SATURATED WITH SO MUCH CALL.

I ONLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT I MANIFEST IN VIDEOS, APPEARANCE TO THE PRESS OR NOTES THAT ARE SENT TO ALL THE MEDIA AND IS PUBLISHED IN THE CITY CHANNELS OR SOCIAL NETWORKS.DATA HAS ONLY BEEN GIVEN WHEN CONTRACTED AND CAREFULLY.

NO PERSONAL, BUSINESS, OR ANY INFORMATION THAT MAY DAMAGE ANYONE HAS BEEN GIVEN, NOR WILL BE GIVEN.

THAT IS NOT TRANSPARENCY OR INFORMATION AS I UNDERSTAND IT.ALTHOUGH IT IS VERY COMPLICATED, WE HAVE TRIED TO FIGHT AGAINST THE BULLETS OR MISLEADED INFORMATION OF THOSE WHO PRETEND (OR DO SO WITH GOOD WILL) TO GENERATE CONFUSION OR HAVE THEIR MINUTE OF GLORY SENT AUDIOS.OFFERING DATA FROM PERSONS OR COMPANIES (WITHOUT EXPRESS CONSENT), IS A PENALTY CRIME WITH JAIL, IN ADDITION TO THE DAMAGE THAT IS DONE THAT IS NOT LITTLE.To finish, I reiterate my full confidence in the health managers of the Region and, for the umpteenth time, tranquility and responsibility to the population.

We will be able to pass some "bump" because the enemy is dangerous and treacherous.

But it is up to us to beat it.

With our civic attitude.Taking care of our health and the people around us is essential to move forward, recovering the economy and social life, calmly, without tension and complying with the rules.WE WILL OVERCOME, DO NOT HESITATE.Juan José Cánovas, Mayor of Totana
