Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said today that he will ask Parliament to approve another extension of the state of emergency, hoping it will be the last.
Sanchez will ask for a one-month extension of the state of emergency, instead of two weeks, as before.
The current state of emergency should expire in a week, on May 24.
Support for Sánchez's minority left-wing government has weakened with each vote to extend the state of emergency.
But he managed to salvage a crucial vote two weeks ago by striking a last-minute deal with two smaller parties that backed him in the vote.
Tens of thousands of people protested in Seville against the government despite a curfew, pointing to growing political opposition to extending the central government's emergency powers.
Health authorities today reported 102 deaths from Covid-19 in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of deaths in the country to 27.563.
The latest daily number of deaths from the corona virus is the lowest in more than two months.
Before the introduction of isolation measures to suppress the coronavirus epidemic, Spain recorded more than 900 deaths per day.
A total of 276.505 infected have been confirmed in that country.
