The Spanish government on Tuesday banned companies receiving state aid to cope with the economic impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine from laying off workers because of rising energy prices.
Like the rest of Europe, Spain has found itself since 2021 with rising energy prices that drove inflation in February to its highest level in 30 years.
The layoffs will be considered "unjustified when they are the result of causes linked to rising energy costs," Labor Minister Yolanda Diaz said at a press conference.
