Everything surrounding the war in the Middle East, as well as Donald Trump's threats to cut off trade, is so uncertain that the Spanish government is still hesitant to take decisive action in approving measures to mitigate a potential economic impact. However, this doesn't mean that the various ministries aren't working to understand how the conflict in the Persian Gulf and the tension with the United States might affect different sectors of the economy: from transportation and industry to the cost of living, as well as in terms of company sales and revenue, and consequently, the labor market. In this regard, the Ministry of Labor committed this Thursday to holding meetings with social partners—the major unions and employers' associations—to monitor the economic consequences of the current situation on businesses and workers. The unions also requested that any measures taken be detailed, specifying the fiscal impact they will have: that is, the public resources that will be allocated.

It has been more than a week since the Department of Home Affairs started the procedure to pay back the fines given between March 14 and June 21, 2020, for covid restrictions violations. A total of 24,000 fines were paid, and they can now be claimed back after the Constitutional Court overturned the first lockdown. But beyond this, penalties for non-compliance with the anti-covid measures have continued and in this case the Health Department has already issued almost 195,000 fines since June 2020. The most common fine, which accounts for 41% of those that have been processed in the last year and a half, is for not wearing a mask. Twenty percent are for failure to comply with a local lockdown order and 14% for breaking a curfew.

The Catalan government hopes to maintain two of the restrictions which have been in place over the past six months: the six-person limit on gatherings and the 50% reduction in capacity at religious events. As the state of alarm expires on Saturday at midnight and the two measures affect fundamental rights and freedoms such as assembly and worship, they will need to be approved by Catalonia's High Court.

For the moment, the Prosecutor's Office is favourable to the measures staying in place for the next 15 days.
