11.12.2025The Day Ábalos Received a Million-Euro Hydrocarbons Bribe
The day's editorial focus initially centered on María Corina Machado's arrival in Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize. Following her daughter's acceptance speech, Machado gave press conferences, reiterating hopes for a free Venezuela and claiming the country had been "invaded by Russian agents."

Concurrently, the investigation into Servinabar and Leire Díez intensified, with the detention of Antxon Alonso, a partner of Santos Cerdán, and multiple company searches, including Forestalia and Plus Ultra, the latter for alleged money laundering.

By late afternoon and evening, the 'hydrocarbons plot' emerged as a dominant story, with the UCO reporting that a million euros were allegedly used to buy the "will" of Ábalos, Aldama, and García, and Ábalos's influence on various ministries was highlighted. Separately, a member of the PSOE's federal executive committee resigned amidst new sexual harassment allegations.
