The Ceuta crisis dominated Spanish media for the 14th day, with Interior Minister Marlaska and Foreign Minister Albares testifying in Congress. Marlaska denied intelligence failures, blamed PP and Vox for inciting hatred, and defended Morocco's collaboration. Albares echoed this, blaming 'bulos' and an 'international reactionary' network. Meanwhile, residents held a peaceful protest ending at Benítez beach, chanting 'invaders, expulsion', while the government requested Frontex support for migrant triage. Other stories included the death of Norway's King Harald V, inflation rising to 4.3%, and the Nepal flood rescue of a Spaniard.
