The Zapatero Plus Ultra case escalated sharply on June 18. Morning coverage focused on his evasive testimony the previous day, with multiple outlets reporting the judge found criminal indications not dispelled. By midday, the story shifted: Judge Calama imputed Zapatero's daughters and secretary for money laundering and concealment, dominating headlines across the political spectrum. In the afternoon, audio excerpts of Zapatero denying influence and commission negotiations circulated widely. Simultaneously, the Ayuso partner case resurfaced with a UCO report on inflated Quirón billing. Sánchez hinted at early elections if budgets fail, while the Mediterranean Forum and World Cup matches received secondary attention.
