13.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Felipe VI Declared Sovereignty Non-Negotiable in Ceuta
⌨

Overnight editors stayed with the Supreme Court's refusal to lift the block on 163,020 ley de nietos voters for 29-N, described as materially impossible to apply and now pushed toward a Constitutional Court appeal, with the government insisting voting rights are guaranteed not restricted.

Coverage then shifted to Ceuta for the Kings' first visit of the reign, 19 years after the last. Felipe VI and Letizia were met by crowds waving flags and chanting 'yo soy español,' with boos for minister Torres, while regional president Vivas warned the city remained a pressure cooker that could explode.

By evening attention fixed on Felipe VI's institutional address declaring sovereignty and territorial integrity indisputable, calling Ceuta an irrenunciable part of Spain, demanding good faith from Morocco and return of irregular entrants.

In parallel, Irene Montero confirmed talks with Frente Amplio as Colau was named its candidate.
