The Day Self-Employed Quotas Were Frozen and the PSOE's 'Black Box' Emerged

Spanish media on October 20th initially reported on Israel's accusations against Hamas for breaking the Gaza ceasefire and subsequent bombings, a continuation from the previous day. Concurrently, the extensive Louvre crown jewels robbery remained a prominent international story. Domestically, the 'Koldo case' continued to draw attention with reports of Koldo's mediation for a 2018 meeting and scrutiny over Begoña Gómez.

Later, focus intensified on the Supreme Court's investigation into an alleged PSOE 'black box' for illicit cash deliveries. Significant attention then shifted to the government's decision to rectify and freeze self-employed quotas for lower earners, a development reiterated throughout the late afternoon and evening across multiple outlets.
