26.05.2025 ⇢ Day of Israel's School Strike and Sánchez's Eyeglass Subsidy
⌨

The day began with reports of an Israeli strike on a Gaza school killing at least 30 Palestinians, followed by Israel announcing an "unprecedented attack" on southern Gaza. This escalation followed Foreign Minister Albares' diplomatic efforts reported on May 25, though today he appeared to distance Spain from a strong European response, pointing to Germany's position.

Domestically, President Sánchez announced a €100 subsidy for glasses and contact lenses for children under 16, while political tensions intensified with revelations about alleged PSOE operations against the UCO police unit, captured in controversial audio recordings. Civil Guard unions denounced "purges of high commanders" following these revelations.

Miguel Ángel Gallardo resigned as Badajoz Provincial Council president following the indictment of Sánchez's brother, though he will retain parliamentary immunity. The Supreme Court justice Marchena notably criticized the overuse of political immunity, stating "we have gone too far with immunities."
