The most crucial appointment of the third wave has not started on the right foot for the autonomies.

Salvador Illa have broken the ice at the meeting of the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System with a speech that has poured a jug of cold water on the communities that ask for an advance of the curfew and more legal tools to restrict mobility.

The minister began by saying that "the arsenal of measures" that the autonomies have at their disposal "is sufficient," according to sources from the Council consulted by EL MUNDO.

Illa has insisted that many more measures of the state of alarm decree can still be developed and that we must have "patience" to continue doing so and that they take effect.

However, the minister - aware of the clamor in favor of advancing the curfew - has shown himself willing to "listen" to suggestions for new measures from regional governments.

Basque Country, Catalonia and Galicia ask for more tools

The Minister of Health of the Basque Country, Gotzone Sagardui, has expressly asked Illa to advance the curfew at 8:00 p.m., which is the one that Castilla y León has set unilaterally.

The Government has appealed it.

According to sources, Catalonia has asked for more tools, but has not expressly mentioned the advance of the curfew.

Galicia has done it: also at eight in the afternoon.

And Andalusia - host of the ministers Carolina Darias and Illa in the meeting - has demanded more legal weapons, such as modifying the decree of the state of alarm to advance the curfew and allow home confinement.

Asturias, governed by the PSOE, has gone further and has indicated that it could be useful to advance the curfew at 18 hours.

Cantabria has not expressly asked for a tougher curfew, but if the State decides to grant this possibility, it would be willing to implement it.

And La Rioja does not ask for it
