  • Phase 2. What can be done in the second phase of the de-escalation in Spain
  • Phase 3. What can be done in the third phase of the de-escalation in Spain

The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer every day. An immense part of Spain will be in Phase 3 from Monday, that is, in the last step of the de-escalation process. With the implications that this has. At the same time that Galicia has become the first autonomous community to announce that it ends the chapter on confinement and that on June 15 it will officially leave the state of alarm. This has been announced by Alberto Núñez Feijóo.

As of that day, of the other 16 autonomous communities, 13 will be fully facing the final stretch while of the three that are missing, two of them (Catalonia and Castilla y León) will also have substantial parts of their territory in it. Only the Community of Madrid, Barcelona and its metropolitan area and the Castilian-Leonese provinces closest to Madrid's autonomy remain one step behind, continuing one more week in Phase 2.

Thus, the big news announced this Friday are in Galicia (which has announced the end of the de-escalation process) and in the regions and regions that will enter Phase 3: the entire Valencian Community, the provinces of Toledo, Ciudad Real and Albacete, in Castilla-La Mancha; the Catalan health areas of Gerona and Central Catalonia; the provinces of Valladolid, Burgos, León, Zamora and Palencia, in Castilla y León; and the autonomous city of Ceuta.

All its inhabitants will accompany half of the Spanish population that since last Monday is in the last stage of the de-escalation: the autonomous regions of Andalusia, Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, the Basque Country, Navarra, Aragon, La Rioja, Extremadura, the Region of Murcia, the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, part of Castilla-La Mancha (Guadalajara and Cuenca) and the autonomous city of Melilla.

All the decisions are now in the hands of its regional presidents, and it will only be up to them to consider this Phase 3 over and move towards the so-called "new normal", the stage that implies definitively lifting the state of alarm and, with it, some of current restrictions, such as being able to move between autonomous communities.

This is what has happened this Friday with Galicia. The governing council headed by Feijóo has approved the end of its passage through Phase 3 in a week and become the first autonomy of Spain starting in the "new normal" phase starting Monday. "The epidemiological reports support it," Feijóo has justified at a press conference.

Galicia is the first after yesterday, other autonomous communities, such as the Basque Country, Cantabria and Asturias, slowed down their plans, having decided to take the step in a coordinated way, opening a northern corridor to the mobility of citizens from Galicia to the Basque Country. However, they have had to stop short because of outbreaks detected in two Basque hospitals, which have forced them to act with "prudence". "It is better to be a little cautious than a little reckless," Fernando Simón applauded yesterday. This caution has also been transferred to Navarra and La Rioja, which could have been added to the northern corridor.

All these regions will wait at least a few more days to study how the situation in the Basque Country evolves, however, Galicia has decided to maintain its initial idea, while also opening some more border crossings with Portugal than those already they were open.

Behind, in Phase 2, the Community of Madrid remains during the next week, which has not even asked this time to change its condition; the sanitary zones of Barcelona and its entire metropolitan area, as well as that of Lérida, in Catalonia; and the provinces of Salamanca, Ávila, Segovia and Soria, in Castilla y León, after the Board's decision to leave them one more week frozen in Phase 2 as a prudent gesture due to their proximity to Madrid.

This general map draws a country that is on the exit ramp of the de-escalation and that will reach the end of the state of alarm, whose last effective day is June 21, having completed the vast majority of the process. The best of news for the summer campaign. However, the fear of some regional presidents is about what happens to Madrid and if any extraordinary measure will be taken to prevent its inhabitants from moving freely throughout the national territory from the 22nd. Alberto Núñez Feijóo commented yesterday, stressing the importance of having legislation capable of closing "totally or partially a province, a municipality or an autonomous community" without resorting to a state of alarm.
