October 12th in Spain saw extensive coverage of the National Day celebrations. Early reports highlighted the military parade, with later emphasis on the King and Queen presiding over events, accompanied by Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía. Concurrently, news outlets consistently noted jeers directed at Pedro Sánchez and the absence of Vox leader Santiago Abascal. Throughout the day, Sánchez's departure from the royal reception without addressing the press also became a prominent talking point, with various sources from the right-wing criticizing his isolation. This political discord was a central theme, alongside reports of heavy rainfall and flooding in Montsià, and the surprise retirement of bullfighter Morante de la Puebla.
