The article says he may allow the shift in the curfew timings, but is refusing other requests to tighten restrictions. Politically risky I would have thought.

To some extent there is party politics going on between the central and regional governments. First the regions said they wanted more control. They were given it. Then they said that the central government was not doing enough. Now they are saying that the central government is stopping them doing what they want.

For me, this is just the normal way of things with Spanish politics. No big deal.

Yes see it a lot in the Canaries, might be even worse (I don’t know) as they feel a greater sense of autonomy. They often say that when Madrid passes a law they decide themselves whether or not to bother with it.

There was a big scrap between regional and national about testing at the airports because the airports are national, but obviously situated locally.
