Spanish media continued prioritizing the Santos Cerdán corruption case. Early in the day, Sumar maintained pressure, warning the PSOE that its "disorientation" on the case jeopardized government stability. The judicial focus also shifted to five "corrupting" businessmen involved in the network. As the day progressed, Cerdán's defense actively appealed his imprisonment, demanding immediate release, citing presumption of innocence violations, and accusing the judge of directing a "general case" against him. By evening, the political fallout intensified, with Sánchez taking decisive action by dismissing Cerdán's close allies from the PSOE Executive in response to the scandal. Concurrently, the tragic death of footballer Diogo Jota in a traffic accident was widely reported throughout the day.
