The Conference of Presidents in Barcelona collapsed into open warfare between Sánchez and PP regional leaders. Madrid's Ayuso dramatically walked out when Basque and Catalan leaders spoke in their languages, refusing to use translation earphones and declaring it "absurd to speak Spanish in hallways during coffee breaks then put on earphones." She isolated herself as the only leader protesting co-official languages.
The summit featured explosive confrontations, with Ayuso refusing to greet Health Minister García and asking "Are you going to kiss a murderer?" PP barons unanimously demanded early elections, which Sánchez firmly rejected, stating they would occur "in 2027, when they're due." The conference ended without any agreements.
Throughout the day, the Trump-Musk feud dominated international coverage, with mutual accusations linking each other to Epstein's files. Housing prices surged over 12% in their biggest increase since the property bubble, while Alcaraz advanced to the Roland Garros final.
