Wow, that is good news. Giving support directly to the ordinary people. Prioritising assistance for employees, not big business as is happening in UK and USA

Yes after the initial mistakes made by the government (covered in the article) now maybe we are getting some joined-up thinking...

I am pleased to see the government have admitted mistakes were made. Contrast that with bumbling BoJo.

Is it good news? 440Euros for suspended workers on temporales? Already the problem is in Italy where so many bosses pay wages in black. These people will get nothing. Reports of people stealing food and also turning to Mafia for help. If this government is serious it needs to go after the businesses who have been exploiting their workers for decades

But I'm glad to read also that "Moncloa ha abierto la mano para permitir que muchas empresas mantengan una produccion minima" and not shut down whole sections of the economy deemed as non-essential. After all, Spain is many countries within a single country, and each 'autonomia' should be allowed to interpret within limits what Madrid dictates.
