22.07.2026The Day Feijóo Named Sánchez the Corrupt Nexus

The Plus Ultra scandal continued to dominate early coverage, with Julio Martínez's testimony implicating former PM Zapatero in the airline's rescue and a 1% commission. El Mundo and El Confidencial reported Zapatero ordered the commission to be camouflaged and pressured Martínez to hire a specific lawyer. By mid-morning, however, editorial focus shifted to PP leader Feijóo's political offensive. In a course review speech, Feijóo labeled Sánchez the 'señor X' and 'corrupt nexus' of all PSOE cases, promising a 'deep clean' of institutions and activating a 'countdown' to government. This narrative dominated headlines from El Español, El Mundo, El Confidencial, and 20minutos through the afternoon. Meanwhile, PSOE and Sumar agreed to extend rent controls until July 2028, and a Guadalajara wildfire stabilized after burning 32,000 hectares. The Plus Ultra story faded by evening, with Público reporting a witness denied key offshore allegations.
