19.02.2026 ⇢ The Day of Prince Andrew's Arrest
⌨
The morning began with Spanish media focused on the internal fallout from the sexual assault allegations against the former National Police Chief (DAO). Editors highlighted reports of internal cover-ups within the Ministry of Interior and a tactical electoral proposal by Gabriel Rufián to unify the left against Vox. By midday, editorial priority shifted abruptly to the United Kingdom following the arrest of Prince Andrew in connection with the Epstein case and charges of misconduct in public office. This story dominated the afternoon cycle across all major outlets, momentarily overshadowing domestic scandals. In the evening, the focus remained on the Prince's release after eleven hours of detention, alongside new domestic developments involving allegations of illegal PSOE financing by Víctor de Aldama. Meanwhile, international tension rose as reports surfaced of a ten-day ultimatum issued by Donald Trump to Iran regarding nuclear negotiations.
