The regional summit's aftermath dominated morning coverage, with PP-led communities rejecting Sánchez's debt forgiveness proposal linked to Catalonian fiscal privileges. Civil servants staged protests in Madrid over Muface health insurance system changes, threatening strikes.
The afternoon saw media attention shift dramatically to the death of Mango founder Isak Andic in a 150-meter fall at Montserrat mountains during a family excursion. Coverage quickly expanded from initial accident reports to assessments of his €4.5 billion legacy and 2,700-store empire.
