MADRID — Spain’s government on Saturday ended an emergency measure that had placed the country’s air-traffic control under military authority to prevent strike action over the busy Christmas holiday period, announcing steps to prepare for future strikes.
The “state of alarm” measure that came into force Dec. 4 and was later extended to 43 days by parliament was revoked by a decree signed Saturday by Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.
