Spanish media on November 21 opened with continued focus on the Supreme Court's condemnation of Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz to two years of disqualification for revelation of secrets. This ruling was widely described as an "unprecedented institutional shock," with progressive legal figures calling it a "soft coup."
Later in the morning, attention shifted to King Felipe VI's speeches and the bestowal of the Order of the Golden Fleece, emphasizing the spirit of 1978 and national unity. Concurrently, the 'Caso Koldo' continued to be covered.
By early afternoon, the narrative returned sharply to the Attorney General's conviction, with Ayuso delivering strong rhetoric, framing the conviction as an attack orchestrated by Sánchez, and declaring that "it is not the Attorney General but Sánchez who has sat on the bench." The government expressed indignation, while some legal figures viewed the ruling as a "soft coup."
In the late afternoon and evening, reports emerged of Donald Trump's ultimatum to Zelensky regarding a peace plan, pushing Ukraine to make a critical decision.
