What are the immediate consequences of the €107 million fine imposed on Ryanair by the Spanish government?

Ryanair, Europe's largest airline by passenger count, received a €107 million fine from Spain's Ministry of Consumption for allegedly violating passenger rights by overcharging for cabin baggage. CEO Michael O'Leary denounced the fine as illegal, citing EU rulings since 2014 allowing airlines to set prices freely. He also criticized Spanish politician Pablo Bustinduy, calling him a "crazy clown", for advocating higher baggage allowances.
