08.06.2026The Day the Pope Spoke in Congress and Filled the Bernabéu

The papal visit continued to monopolize editorial priorities. Morning coverage centered on León XIV's historic address to the Cortes, where he defended life from conception to natural death, criticized political polarization, and urged a response to migration. Only Podemos and BNG boycotted the speech. By afternoon, attention shifted to his meeting with bishops, where he called pederasty a 'plague' and demanded 'truth, justice, and reparation,' though victims' groups complained of exclusion. The evening climaxed with a mass event at the Bernabéu, drawing over 70,000 faithful, where the Pope celebrated diversity and was hailed as a 'golazo.' Non-papal stories—Zapatero's jewelry appraisal, the PP's lead in polls, Peruvian elections—received only marginal coverage.
