The political landscape for the Sánchez government dramatically shifted on July 11, with Spanish media intensely reporting the PP's escalating "personal war" campaign. Early focus centered on continued judicial scrutiny of former minister Ábalos's payments and new allegations linking Prime Minister Sánchez's family to "brothels." This aggressive offensive gained significant traction with the publication of new CIS polls throughout the day, which showed a seven-point decline for the PSOE. The polls notably narrowed the party's lead over the PP and indicated strong gains for Vox, attributing this shift to the ongoing corruption crisis, particularly the Cerdán case. Concurrently, political debate deepened regarding Catalonia's financing, with regional leaders expressing concern over equitable agreements and Compromís threatening support. Later, allegations of illegal "state sewer" espionage against Sánchez and his family also emerged, adding another layer to the government's challenges.
