23.12.2024 ⇢ The day Sánchez reached for Puigdemont's hand
⌨

Morning coverage revealed Puigdemont's six-month ultimatum to Sánchez, threatening to end the legislature if demands weren't met. The government responded through a carefully orchestrated sequence of statements, culminating in Sánchez's press conference after the final Council of Ministers of the year.

Sánchez announced openness to meeting Puigdemont, framing it as natural progression of the amnesty process. This marked a shift from previous positions, occurring as investigations intensified into the Koldo case's Dominican Republic connections and Begoña Gómez's influence case expanded to include major tech companies.

The government extended transport subsidies but dropped food VAT reductions, while approving energy company taxes without parliamentary backing. Ion Antolín's resignation as Secretary of State for Communication after just 20 days added an unexpected element to the day's political developments.
