Spanish media on November 17 continued to focus on the Chilean presidential elections in the early morning, with reports detailing the second-round contest between Jara and Kast.
However, the day quickly shifted to Valencian President Mazón's appearance before the Congressional investigative commission regarding the DANA disaster. Multiple outlets extensively covered his testimony, where he largely eluded responsibility, citing a lack of preparedness and technical incapacitation, and dismissing initial warnings.
Concurrently, the 'Caso Begoña' resurfaced with new developments in the afternoon. Leire Díez, a PSOE figure, attempted to annul secret recordings and later revealed to the judge that she met with Santos Cerdán around the time the case broke.
