Spain implements new security and regulatory measures

Authorities in Spain are implementing new security and regulatory measures across different sectors. In Valsequillo de Gran Canaria, officials have finalized a security and mobility plan for the San Miguel 2026 Festival and Fair, scheduled to begin on September 11. The plan includes a ban on glass at events, reinforced police presence, and a special transport plan coordinated with GLOBAL to manage large crowds.

In the sports sector, the Anti-Violence Commission has approved stricter regulations for the Primera Federación football category. New measures include potential breathalyzer tests before stadium entry, a restriction to a single authorized megaphone per cheering section, and a ban on surprise 'tifos' (fan displays). Additionally, all banners must be certified as non-hazardous, and discriminatory messages or insults will face sanctions.
