Spanish media on October 17th primarily focused on the failure of BBVA's hostile takeover bid for Banco Sabadell. Early reports confirmed the bid's low acceptance rate of approximately 25%, indicating a victory for Sabadell. Throughout the morning, BBVA Chairman Carlos Torres reiterated his decision not to resign, citing board support. The stock market reacted with BBVA shares rising and Sabadell's falling, prompting discussions on the financial implications. By afternoon, reports detailed celebrations within Sabadell and the EU's decision to continue sanctioning Spain. Coverage also emerged regarding the suicide of a 14-year-old in Seville due to alleged bullying. Later in the day, the focus shifted to Trump and Zelensky's meeting at the White House, particularly regarding the potential supply of Tomahawk missiles, which Trump appeared to cool on.
