05.08.2025Cerdán's Defiance Amidst Gaza's Heat
Spanish media on August 5th continued to prioritize domestic political integrity, notably the Santos Cerdán case. Early reports detailed alleged luxury apartment dealings, followed by Cerdán's denials and claims of political persecution. As the day progressed, focus intensified on the Koldo investigation with a lawyer's resignation and accusations of falsehoods in Cerdán's confessions, and the Socialist Party's actions regarding his family. This built on previous days' emphasis on the Cerdán probe and the emerging scandal of falsified political CVs, which continued to see coverage. Concurrently, an intense heatwave remained a pervasive national concern, with widespread alerts and reports on energy inefficiency in housing. Internationally, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict gained prominence, with increasing coverage on Netanyahu's plans to expand Gaza's occupation despite internal opposition, and rising death tolls.
