The Day Sánchez Fought for Budgets

Spanish media on November 8th primarily focused on Pedro Sánchez's legislative efforts. Early reports indicated his insistence on completing the legislature "with or without budgets," despite Junts's recent rupture (RTVE). Concurrently, La Razón highlighted Sánchez's attempt to secure Junts' support through budget negotiations.

Throughout the day, judicial inquiries into alleged PSOE corruption continued, with El Confidencial reporting on the "cloaca del PSOE" and Libertad Digital detailing a prosecutor's alleged ignorance of evidence.

By early afternoon, Junts publicly accused the PSOE of "cargarse la legislatura" and challenged Sánchez to explain his plans without a majority (RTVE). Later, El Plural noted a flirtation between Junts and PP regarding a no-confidence motion against Sánchez, albeit with mutual caution.
