13.08.2026The Day Marlaska Faced Ceuta's Wrath

The Ceuta migrant crisis dominated the day's editorial priorities, eclipsing the lingering eclipse coverage.

Political tensions escalated as Defense Minister Robles postponed her Senate appearance, drawing PP criticism. Meanwhile, the eclipse aftermath continued with reports of over 600 ophthalmological visits and traffic chaos in Barcelona, but the Ceuta crisis remained the primary focus.
