The Conference of Presidents meeting dominated coverage, with Sánchez announcing debt forgiveness plans for autonomous communities starting January. The morning saw regional leaders arriving amid tensions over Catalan language requirements that had displaced 212 healthcare workers. By midday, the government's strategy emerged: using debt relief to counter opposition to the "Catalan quota."
Page from Castilla-La Mancha broke ranks with PP's united front, calling for negotiation with PSOE on financing. Meanwhile, PSOE-Junts negotiations continued quietly in Switzerland, while the Conference failed to reach agreement on migrant minor transfers from Canarias.
Evening coverage revealed the conference's limited results: no concrete agreements on housing or financing, but Barcelona was announced as next host. BBVA had to publicly deny rumors about Sánchez's brother's shares, indicating ongoing political tensions beneath surface-level cooperation.
