06.05.2026The Day the Hantavirus Ship Docked in Tenerife

The hantavirus cruise ship crisis dominated the day, with the MV Hondius heading to Tenerife after Spain agreed to host it following a WHO request. The Canary Islands president Clavijo rejected the docking and demanded an urgent meeting with Sánchez, creating a central-regional conflict. By evening, the ship was en route to Tenerife, with 14 Spanish passengers to be quarantined at Madrid's Gómez Ulla hospital. Three infected patients were evacuated to the Netherlands, and the WHO confirmed an eighth case in Switzerland. Meanwhile, the Ábalos corruption trial concluded with prosecutor Luzón delivering a forceful final report, calling the corruption 'demolishing' and arguing for a possible sentence reduction for Aldama. Luzón denied any deal with Aldama, while new details emerged about Ábalos meeting prostitutes during COVID lockdown.
