25.12.2025The Day of the King's Warning Against Extremism
Throughout the morning, editorial priority was almost exclusively dedicated to King Felipe VI’s Christmas message. Outlets across the ideological spectrum focused on his warnings regarding the 'fragility' of democratic coexistence and a 'crisis of confidence' in public institutions. Conservative editors emphasized his defense of the Transition and the Constitution, while progressive media highlighted his critique of political polarization and 'noise.'
By early afternoon, the narrative shifted toward the political fallout of the speech. Editors tracked a clear divide: the PSOE and PP supported the monarch's call for 'exemplarity,' whereas the government’s parliamentary partners, including Sumar, Podemos, and pro-independence groups, voiced sharp criticism of his perceived lack of social connection. This polarized reception dominated the domestic cycle until the evening.
Late in the day, the focus broadened to international developments. Major outlets reported on the Venezuelan government’s release of 71 political prisoners, while also tracking a new diplomatic friction between the European Union and the United States over visa restrictions.
