The day was dominated by a diplomatic clash between Spain and Italy over migration, sparked by Spanish Foreign Minister Albares' accusation that Italy's government was 'not up to the task' of managing arrivals. The story broke in the morning and escalated throughout the day, with Italian officials countering that migrant landings had dropped under Meloni. Multiple outlets led with the spat, framing it within the broader Ceuta crisis and EU tensions. In the afternoon, the funeral of Don Mazzi in Milan drew extensive coverage, with emotional tributes and a large public turnout. Trump's Iran ultimatum also featured prominently, with his threat of 'decapitation' if negotiations fail, though Tehran denied ongoing talks. Political infighting on the Italian left over Ukraine policy and primary elections, with Schlein rejecting Conte's proposal, was a secondary but persistent theme.
