06.02.2026The Day Zapatero Landed in Caracas
The morning of February 6th focused on the legal fallout of the Móstoles harassment scandal, as leaked audio recordings and emails directly contradicted the Madrid regional government’s denials of prior knowledge. Simultaneously, editors maintained high-alert coverage of Storm Leonardo in Andalusia, where the evacuation of Grazalema and the threat of dam failures dominated headlines.
By midday, the narrative shifted toward a casualty in Málaga and the arrival of a second storm, Marta, which extended the emergency status for over 11,000 displaced persons. However, the afternoon editorial priority was seized by the unannounced arrival of former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in Caracas. Conservative outlets framed his 'daily relationship' with Delcy Rodríguez as a legitimization of the Maduro regime, while progressive sources focused on his role in the Venezuelan transition.
The evening concluded with the closure of the Aragonese regional election campaign, where editorial lines highlighted the hardening rhetoric between the PP and PSOE over potential pacts with Vox.
