20.04.2025 ⇢ Day of Stalled Peace Talks and Political Paralysis
⌨

The Russian Orthodox Easter ceasefire announced by Putin yesterday was immediately countered by reports of continued fighting, with Zelensky confirming combat persisted despite the declared truce. Media repeatedly emphasized that two months of Ukraine negotiations have failed to halt the war, as Putin's strategy after his ceasefire gesture diminishes peace prospects.

Domestic politics showed paralysis in Sánchez's government, which has passed only four royal decrees and one law in 2025's first quarter. Catalan parties ERC and Junts demanded progress on financing, language policy, and amnesty. The PNV pressed Sánchez on bilateral relations, declaring "We are a nation."

Israel acknowledged "errors" in an attack killing 15 paramedics, attributing it to troops' "mental state." The story dominated RTVE's afternoon coverage with eight repetitions.

In sports, Barcelona maintained title hopes with a comeback victory against Celta, while Holger Rune defeated an injured Carlos Alcaraz at the Conde de Godó trophy.
