On June 20, the Begoña Gómez case dominated editorial priorities from late morning onward. At 11:20, El Español broke that Judge Peinado had opened oral proceedings, seized her passport, banned her from leaving Spain, and ordered her to sign in every 15 days. Within minutes, El Mundo, La Razón, El Confidencial, Público, El País, La Vanguardia, El Plural, and El Periódico all led with the same story, framing it as a dramatic escalation. By early afternoon, Moncloa and the PSOE launched an offensive against Peinado, calling him “delirious” and “obsessive” (Libertad Digital, 20minutos). Begoña Gómez announced she would appeal the passport seizure (eldiario.es). The story remained the top headline across outlets through the evening, with RTVE repeatedly updating its version. Earlier, the Zapatero Plus Ultra case had lingered, with reports on his daughters’ imputation and a consultant’s payments, but it was overtaken. A secondary international story was Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz after Israeli attacks on Lebanon (eldiario.es). Feijóo’s call for Sánchez not to run in elections (El Español, 20minutos) and internal PSOE discontent (El Periódico) received attention but did not displace the judicial story.
