23.06.2025 ⇢ Day the Voices Became Unrecognizable
⌨
Ábalos appeared before the Supreme Court and denied corruption charges while claiming he could not recognize his own voice in the incriminating audio recordings that have dominated the scandal for weeks. The former minister cited "personal tension" to explain the discrepancy, though prosecutors and popular accusations demanded his imprisonment. The judge rejected the jail requests, keeping both Ábalos and Koldo free while noting "solid indications of criminality."
The international crisis escalated as Iran retaliated against Trump's nuclear facility strikes by launching missiles at US bases in Qatar and Iraq. Spanish media described this as Iran's "first reprisal" in what they called the "12-day war." NATO Secretary-General Rutte contradicted Sánchez's claims about defense spending exemptions, insisting Spain must reach 3.5% of GDP rather than the negotiated 2.1%.
By evening, Trump announced a "total ceasefire" between Israel and Iran, claiming the conflict that began with his bombing of Iranian nuclear sites would end after 12 hours.

⌨The newspapers report on Ábalos appearing before the Supreme Court where he denied accepting kickbacks while prosecutors and popular accusations demanded his imprisonment (El Confidencial, El Español, El Periódico, La Razón).

Despite the escalating military exchange, Trump denies being at war with Iran even after the bombardment of their nuclear installations. Domestically, the corruption crisis continues affecting the ruling coalition as Compromís deputy Àgueda Micó abandons the Sumar parliamentary group to join the Mixed Group, signaling further fractures within Sánchez's governing alliance (El Plural).
