28.01.2026The Day of Ábalos's Resignation
During the morning of January 28, editorial attention remained fixed on the aftermath of the previous day’s legislative defeat, with outlets detailing the loss of 'social shield' protections and analyzing the fragility of the ruling coalition. Simultaneously, coverage of the Adamuz rail disaster transitioned toward technical scrutiny, as investigators identified bubbles in the welding as a potential cause of the fracture, while Minister Óscar Puente faced criticism for withholding safety certificates.
By the evening, the narrative shifted abruptly as editors reported the resignation of José Luis Ábalos from his parliamentary seat. Media across the political spectrum framed this as a tactical move to lower the government's voting threshold, reducing its reliance on Junts. This political maneuver coincided with a shift in regional coverage toward the arrival of Storm Kristin, which dominated late-night headlines with reports of hurricane-force winds and suspended classes. Finally, sports editors prioritized the Champions League results, focusing on the mixed outcomes for Spanish clubs.
