16.02.2026 ⇢ The Day of the España Crece Housing Fund
⌨The morning of February 16th began with editors focusing on the internal crisis of the PSOE, with conservative outlets highlighting Pedro Sánchez’s electoral decline and a nationwide medical strike involving 210,000 professionals protesting the 'Estatuto Marco'. In Catalonia, media attention centered on Salvador Illa’s return to the Palau after medical leave to address the Rodalies infrastructure crisis.
By midday, the government successfully pivoted the editorial agenda. Pedro Sánchez announced the 'España Crece' sovereign fund, pledging 23,000 million euros to build 15,000 affordable homes annually. While progressive outlets framed this as a landmark social investment, conservative editors balanced the announcement with reports of alleged financial misconduct involving the President’s inner circle and spouse.
Late afternoon coverage was dominated by the official signing of the Minimum Wage (SMI) increase. Editors highlighted Sánchez’s confrontational rhetoric toward the CEOE business federation, demanding they "pay more" despite their absence from the agreement, while medical unions reported high strike participation across the country.
