13.02.2026The Day of the Socialist Open Warfare
The morning of February 13th was dominated by a sharp escalation in internal Socialist Party (PSOE) friction. Following the death of regional leader Javier Lambán, Minister Óscar López’s refusal to retract criticisms of Lambán’s tenure in Aragón triggered a public confrontation. Editorial attention focused on the immediate rebukes from regional presidents, particularly Emiliano García-Page, who demanded apologies from the central government, while conservative outlets characterized the situation as an internal 'law of terror.'
By early afternoon, the government attempted to pivot toward social policy, proposing fiscal penalties for landlords who increase rents. However, this move created a secondary front of conflict with their coalition partner, Sumar, who dismissed the measure as 'cosmetic.'
As the evening progressed, the focus shifted to emergency management. The death of a woman in Barcelona from Storm Nils led into the arrival of a new weather system, Storm Oriana. Editors prioritized the activation of 'Es-Alert' systems in Valencia and Catalonia, overshadowing late-day reports on Trump’s lifting of Venezuelan oil sanctions.
