01.01.2026The Day of the Crans-Montana Explosion
The morning in Spain began with a sharp editorial split between festive New Year's Eve coverage and the continuation of the domestic judicial conflict. While state media focused on the 'Campanadas' and cultural debuts, conservative editors prioritized the judicial 'via crucis' facing President Sánchez and the global implications of Trump’s second term. Progressive outlets centered on the institutional blockade of the Constitutional Court.
By mid-morning, editorial attention shifted abruptly and stabilized around a mass-casualty event in the Swiss Alps. Reports of an explosion at a restaurant in the Crans-Montana ski resort moved from initial accounts of 'several dead' to a confirmed toll of 40 fatalities and over 100 injuries. This tragedy dominated the afternoon cycle across all major platforms. Domestically, the day concluded with the announcement that Alberto Núñez Feijóo would submit private messages to the judge investigating the DANA disaster, linking back to the political accountability narratives of late December.
