Media coverage remained fixated on Isak Andic's mountain accident death, with RTVE repeatedly updating the story throughout the morning. This saturation coverage overshadowed, but couldn't hide, significant political developments.
By midday, Junts announced their refusal to negotiate state budgets, while ERC's internal restructuring under Junqueras's narrow victory revealed deep party divisions. PSOE responded by launching an offensive against "media and economic powers" supporting Ayuso, while Montero publicly supported Óscar López against judicial pressure.
Evening coverage shifted to international developments, with reports of North Korean troops being deployed to Ukraine's Kursk front without adequate protection, and two Russian tankers colliding in the Azov Sea. The EU-Mercosur agreement faced industrial support but agricultural opposition, while Syrian coverage focused on Christian minorities' cautious stance toward new leadership.
