23.12.2025The Day of the 2026 Social Shield Extension
Morning editorial coverage remained fixated on the fallout of the Extremadura elections, with headlines analyzing the migration of PSOE voters toward the PP and the rise of abstention following Miguel Ángel Gallardo’s resignation. Emerging internal dissent took shape as former minister Jordi Sevilla announced a social-democratic alternative to Pedro Sánchez, while Salvador Illa publicly distanced the PSC from the federal party’s corruption scandals.
By midday, the editorial focus shifted toward the final Council of Ministers of the year. Editors prioritized the government's approval of a sweeping social package for 2026, including a 11.4% increase in minimum and non-contributory pensions, a mortgage eviction moratorium, and a new unified transport pass. Simultaneously, the Bank of Spain’s revised growth forecasts and warnings regarding fiscal adjustments and labor cooling provided a counter-narrative in economic sections. By evening, attention turned to internal shifts within Vox as Santiago Abascal removed Javier Ortega Smith from the party’s executive core.

Spanish editors are prioritizing the government's approval of a reinforced social safety net for 2026.
