06.06.2026The Day the Pope Arrived

The papal visit completely displaced the 'cloaca' scandal from editorial priority. From early morning, all outlets tracked León XIV's flight, landing at Barajas, and reception by the King, Queen, and Sánchez. By mid-morning, the official welcome at the Royal Palace dominated, with the Pope's speech against polarization and the King's acknowledgment of abuse victims' pain. Afternoon coverage shifted to the Caritas homeless center visit, where León XIV called for charity without delay. The evening culminated in a vigil at Plaza de Lima with half a million youth, where he warned against social media deception and urged them to be a 'spark of a new humanity.' The scandal resurfaced only marginally, with El Plural noting victims' criticism of the King's speech.
