What are the causes of the end of Deliveroo?

The company has blamed the decision on its inability to maintain the niveles desired in Spain. It is true that the Spanish market represents less than 2% of the gross value of the company's transactions in the first semester. However, many believe that the main factor has been the entry into force of the controversy Rider law.
La delivery man law imposed by the government in the summer tries to end the fake freelancers of the sector delivery. This implies that companies in the sector must convert their workers into employees. Speaking in silver: put them in payroll. However, very few have taken the rule seriously, since the changes have not been very significant for the moment. That is why the synchronicity in the actions of Deliveroo and the Government is surprising.
Has Deliveroo left Spain as a result of the law rider? Some media blame Yolanda Díaz, Vice President of the Government y Minister of Labor, since it was his ministry that prompted the law. However, this is not the only reason or the one that has the most weight. Perhaps the implementation of this law has been the last straw.

In fact, Spain is the second country of Europe from which Deliveroo is leaving. The first was Germany.
