Coronavirus in Spain full update (14 April)
by News Desk14th April 202008376
Report updated in Spain at 20.30h on Tuesday 14 April.

LATEST: Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is to request the authorisation from the Spanish Congress next week for an extension to the current ‘state of alarm’ lockdown in Spain until Sunday 10 May, according to Spain’s El Diario. The debate in the Spanish Congress will be held next Wednesday 22 April.

During last Thursday’s debate and vote in the Congress to extend the current lockdown until 26 April, Sánchez already said that he was ‘convinced’ he would have to ask for yet a further 15 days, which would prolong it until 10 May.

I think because of where we live along the Costa's some think Tourism is the only thing Spain as to offer This is not true. Whilst 12m people visit Spain each year it is only 11% of Spain's GDP.So yes this area and all the way down to Gibraltar will be very badly hit but as a nation Spain will survive.and fall back on its manufacturing industries which are possibly stronger than that of the UK

I've just read , on the Google news feed , that all Hotels on the Costa Blanca may be closed for the remainder of this year , and early next year , only opening on time for next Easter.
Surely not ????

Absolutely Athos . How would Spain, especially Benidorm ever recover from that ?

Exactly Michael.
Could this be to neutralise the west , to pave the way for the N.W.O. to step in and "rescue" us ?

link to feed please

W.E.News , Fred.
I was only stating what they printed.
I don't normally believe a word they say .

what and where is WE news please

Might mean E.W.News they are saying Spanish hoteliers are unhappy about UK not doing checks on so called tourists flying in
Could it be that story ???

That's the free paper that I was referring to, Orangepicker . I thought Freddo would have grasped that ?
But no , it was a different story, just concentrating on the Benidorm hotels.
Before I get jumped on - I never said I believed it .
It was just what they reported.
