The day's news in Spain began with ongoing coverage of far-right candidate José Antonio Kast's victory in Chile's presidential election, making him the first ultranationalist president since Pinochet's dictatorship. This was a continuation of late-night reporting from the previous day.
Later in the morning, Spanish media shifted focus to Prime Minister Sánchez's year-end balance statement. Delivered amidst growing sexual harassment and corruption scandals affecting the PSOE, Sánchez defended the party's "contundencia" against abuses and committed to finishing the legislature, dismissing early elections. He also announced a national transport pass for 60 euros/month. Reports later confirmed the upcoming departure of Pilar Alegría as government spokesperson.
