The PSOE "fontanera" scandal escalated dramatically as leaked audio recordings directly implicated Prime Minister Sánchez, with one operative stating "This is Pedro Sánchez." The party opened an expediente against Leire Díez following pressure but imposed no precautionary measures, continuing the controversy that began with Marlaska's deputy resignation the previous day.

A migrant tragedy unfolded at El Hierro's La Restinga port, where at least seven women including three minors died when a cayuco carrying 180 people capsized. Death tolls climbed throughout the day from initial reports of two fatalities.

National intelligence services entered major energy companies including Iberdrola and Endesa, seizing data following a recent blackout investigation. The BBVA-Sabadell merger advanced to the Council of Ministers. Netanyahu announced killing Hamas's Gaza chief, while Sánchez met Von der Leyen requesting arms embargos against Israel, though he avoided public appearances amid the domestic scandal.
