"We don't take it for granted that a percentage of people have to die in order for most to continue their lives."

Chivite has recognized to the media that the evolution of the pandemic in Navarre is bad and that it is necessary to “significantly reduce all activities that are not essential during the fourteen days that have come, in order to improve the situation and better cope with autumn and winter. This is a serious moment, but we are still on time. We don't want to go to a harder stage. Our philosophy is clear. We're not going to take for granted a percentage of people who have to die or get seriously ill so that most of them continue their lives as if nothing had happened. Because it's happening. Every life has value. All lives have to be taken into account. And every death is a tragedy, a drama, and we refuse to acknowledge that it must be like this. This Government will continue to fight, put in place measures and resources to save lives and protect the health of all citizens.”
