20.05.2026 ⇢ The Day Sánchez Embraced Zapatero
⌨
The day was dominated by the political fallout from the Plus Ultra case. In the morning, the Audiencia Nacional's indictment of former Prime Minister Zapatero for leading an influence-peddling network was the sole focus, with new details emerging about a Dubai offshore company, €2 million in commissions, and the role of his daughters. During the congressional control session, Sánchez closed ranks with Zapatero, offering 'all my support' and invoking presumption of innocence, while Feijóo demanded his resignation, accusing Sánchez of enabling corruption. By afternoon, media analyzed the damage: El Confidencial described Sánchez as 'knocked out' by Zapatero's embrace. Later, new revelations showed Zapatero allegedly orchestrated oil operations from the president's office with Delcy and the Chinese Communist Party, and that Plus Ultra 'fudged' its accounts with loans from Panama and Dominica.
