The contract with the joint venture of Vodafone and Securitas, which currently manages these devices, will end in early May, and this Tuesday the Council of Ministers authorized the hiring of a new service. The Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo, explained that the new devices will have longer battery life and will be attached to the ankle, as is already the case with all those used in Catalan prisons. The new contract will have an initial duration of 36 months and an initial budget of 71 million euros. This figure could reach 111 million euros if the two annual extensions that are possible are activated. This new contract will also increase the number of devices in stock, allowing for replacements in "record time, a maximum of 24 hours," for those experiencing any malfunction.

The farewell - earlier than planned due to a technicality in Madrid's electoral law, which prevents him from being a candidate and member of the Spanish executive - will be the second crisis for the current coalition cabinet after the departure of Salvador Illa, although it is expected to be short and controlled, as it was agreed two weeks ago with Podemos. However, Spanish government sources point out that the decision will not be announced until Sanchez communicates it to the king.
