20.11.2025The Day the Prosecutor General Was Disqualified
Spanish media on November 20 initially continued its extensive coverage of Santos Cerdán's provisional release from prison, a development from the previous day in the 'Caso Koldo' corruption scandal. Early morning reports also highlighted public sentiment regarding Franco's dictatorship and authoritarianism among some young Spaniards.

By late morning and throughout the afternoon, the focus shifted dramatically to the Supreme Court's condemnation of Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz to two years of disqualification for revelation of secrets. This became the dominant editorial priority, with government minister Bolaños expressing disagreement with the ruling while emphasizing trust in justice. The ongoing judicial scrutiny surrounding Begoña Gómez and the financing methods of Sánchez's primary campaign also received attention earlier in the day.
