The day saw an intensification of the domestic political-judicial conflict, marked by a judge's demand for all emails from the Prime Minister's wife, Begoña Gómez, since 2018 for investigation. This followed Prime Minister Sánchez's accusations against judges, leading to Feijóo's announced absence from the judicial year's opening in protest. Concurrently, the US-Venezuela crisis continued to be reported, with President Trump confirming 11 fatalities from an attack on a Venezuelan vessel. By late afternoon, a new, tragic event emerged: a funicular accident in Lisbon, initially reported with injuries, quickly escalated to multiple fatalities, eventually reaching 15 dead and 18 injured, including two Spanish citizens, becoming the dominant story of the evening across Spanish media.
