The morning of February 3rd began with the Spanish government executing a tactical retreat, splitting its failed 'omnibus' decree into two separate legislative pieces to isolate the pension revaluation from contentious eviction protections. Editors highlighted this move as a successful attempt to secure Junts and PNV support for pensions, while progressive outlets noted the retention of the 'social shield' via a second decree. By mid-morning, editorial focus shifted abruptly to Pedro Sánchez’s announcement of a ban on social media access for minors under 16. This became the day's dominant narrative, sparking immediate ideological friction between the PSOE and IU over the policy's authorship and attracting a vitriolic response from Elon Musk, who labeled Sánchez a 'tyrant.' In the afternoon and evening, attention returned to the infrastructure crisis as Transport Minister Óscar Puente testified in Congress regarding the Adamuz disaster. Meanwhile, regional authorities in Andalusia issued red alerts and began evacuations ahead of Storm Leonardo, displacing over 3,000 people by nightfall.
