Spanish media on October 15th extensively covered the legal proceedings of former minister Ábalos. Early reports focused on his anticipated Supreme Court appearance, with speculation about potential provisional imprisonment and internal conflict with his lawyer. News later detailed Ábalos's refusal to declare before the Supreme Court, followed by the prosecution's decision not to request provisional imprisonment. By afternoon, reports confirmed Ábalos remained free, but with judicial warnings of an increased flight risk and alleged hidden funds. Concurrently, protests against the genocide in Gaza, including a general strike for Palestine, received consistent attention throughout the day.
