- Differing legal views -Regions can still restrict opening hours and impose capacity limits in bars and restaurants.They can also seek court approval for stricter measures such as reimposing curfews, capping the number allowed at home gatherings or extending a ban on internal travel.But the courts have offered different rulings, leading to a patchwork of measures across the country.A court in the eastern Valencia region approved a midnight-to-6:00 am curfew, while the top court in the northern Basque Country said the area could not keep its nighttime curfew.To avoid this scenario, several regions have lobbied Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's government to extend the emergency.But his administration has refused, saying the measures could not.
