23.02.2025 ⇢ Day Germany Turned Right
⌨

German election results dominated Spanish media coverage, with CDU's Merz winning 29% while far-right AfD secured an unprecedented 19.5%, becoming the second-largest party. The SPD's collapse to third place with 16% marked the end of the "traffic light" coalition.

Coverage linked these results to two concurrent stories: the discovery of rare earth deposits in Spain that Trump seeks to control, and ongoing debates about defense spending, with 70% of Spaniards supporting doubled military expenditure through a PSOE-PP agreement.

The Pope's health deteriorated by evening, with reports of renal complications adding to his respiratory crisis. The Junts party threatened to withdraw support from Sánchez's government over perceived betrayal in the mediator's letter, while new revelations emerged about Begoña Gómez's NGO fundraising activities.
