Madrid remembers its dead again. Five years after the Government of the Community of Madrid applied the so-called Protocols of Shame, which prevented the referral of thousands of elderly people to hospitals during the pandemic, relatives of the victims have returned to the streets.

Last week there was a monumental scandal caused by the issuance by RTVE of a documentary about the effects that the pandemic caused five years ago in the residences of elderly people in the Community of Madrid. A documentary full of falsehoods, always negative value judgments towards the management of the Community Government and manipulations of figures and data to disqualify that management.
