This Sunday, Pedro Sanchez announced the end of the state of emergency in the coming days in certain autonomous regions, and the government meanwhile said that the "desescalada" could accelerate.

Pedro Sanchez steps back and announces the end of the state of emergency in the coming days and a faster "desescalada"
Spain has been under emergency for more than 2 months and its borders are closed. This Sunday the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez participated in the conference of regional presidents. This began with a call from Pedro Sanchez to the optimism of regional leaders and tried to calm the game by taking a step forward towards a precipitous end of the state of emergency in the coming days in certain regions.

Pedro Sanchez has already backed down on the extension of the state of emergency: he wanted to ask for one more month, the only way in his opinion to protect the Spanish, but he was only able to negotiate two more weeks with the party support Cs.
But it’s not just Pedro Sanchez trying to calm the smoldering fire for several days. In fact, the Minister of Health Salvador Illa announced that it will be possible to move quickly from one phase to another, and therefore accelerate the "desescalada".
The Spanish government is studying the possibility of reducing the minimum time that had to be in each phase, in order to speed up the process, complete the de-escalation period and reach the so-called “new normal” more quickly.
This was communicated by the Minister of Health Salvador Illa, during the press conference he offered from the Moncloa Palace at the end of the eleventh meeting with the autonomous communities. Asked about the possibility of reducing the 14 days required in each phase, Illa indicated: "according to the evolution of the pandemic in each of the territorial units, we will study if there are options to modify what is currently in force" .
