05.11.2026 ⇢ The Day the UCO Searched Ábalos's Home
⌨

The morning press still measured the cost of Puente's resignation after Urda: a Tezanos poll at 93-95 seats, fractures between Sánchez and ministers, an Adif forecast of worsening reliability until 2030 and a judge ordering Guardia Civil supervision of work on the wrecked Iryo. The government announced a 5.3% minimum-wage rise to €1,286.

By mid-morning a sealed Audiencia Nacional order shifted focus to a new Koldo piece: UCO searches at Ábalos's Valencia home and Adif Alta Velocidad and six detentions, including Sánchez's former driver and Ábalos's partner, for alleged rigging and laundering. All six were later released. From prison Koldo García claimed a PP lawyer offered €1m via OkDiario for testimony against Sánchez; Sánchez denied links as PSOE weighed a complaint.

Madrid hosted the Ibero-American summit with a cold Sánchez-Milei greeting, while at least 27 Europe-bound flights faced false bomb threats.
